[IRCA] EXPERIENCE WITH LARGE LOOPS

["Mark Durenberger Mobile" <Mark4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Finally in possession of a Wellbrook ALA-100 (sometimes us old folks move 
slowly).

I'm intrigued by the idea of a large magnetic loop and seeking war stories 
from anyone who has built these larger-circumference arrays.

Wellbrook suggest a 60-foot circumference is about as large as you should go 
to take full advantage of the amplifier.

At our upcoming DesertDXPedition in Utah we plan on chasing signals below 
500 kHz.  What I'm curious about is whether such a large loop is necessary 
to give us a leg-up on long-wave.  Might we do (almost) as well with smaller 
antennas?

This group is extremely responsive and supportive, and I'm looking forward 
to your thoughts!

Cheers!
