I built an E/W (null to the east) dual delta terminated KAZ loop two
days ago, thanks to the Duremberger paper and to advice from KAZ
himself, two days ago and have tested it the past two mornings, hoping
to get some MW TP reception. Monday morning had terrible conditions but
this Tuesday morning had presumed-1566 HLAZ briefly fade up to medium
(easy copy) level, totally dominating the channel and driving the strong
local Tucson station QRM down to inaudibility, peaking at 1250 utc. It
had been poorly heard for 15 minutes before, and soon faded away
completely after that. A number of weak hets on other channels but
nothing but HLAZ producing audio. A check with my previous main antenna,
an active whip, had HLAZ buried in the local domestic AMBC QRM, so it
does appear the DKAZ did what it's supposed to do. I'm south and west of
Tucson about 15-20 miles but I couldn't erect the loop for best nulls
that direction but I'm still seeing decent nulls. So I'm happy with the
initial results for TP reception. I also DX LF NDBs and am finding this
loop to be an excellent performer at LF too
