[600MRG] Tried the W loop on LMF this session

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

Get some yarn and feathers ... disguise it as an outdoor 'dream catcher' lawn 
ornament. Since it has native american heritage maybe the condo commies will 
let you keep it up ;-) .

Hi Neil,





   I have a couple of Wellbrook loops and have good results on 137 and 472 kHz. 
I use a Wellbrook 1530LNP at my QTH west of Boston, 
it's mounted about 10 feet off the ground on some military masting on a TV rotator about 100 feet from the house.  My Wellbrook in Maine in a 1530LN, perhaps 75 feet from the house on an aluminum tripod about 4 feet above ground. Both give good results on LF and MF. I suspect that your problem with the Wellbrook is that it's 
mounted inside the house?  
I'm guessing that you have antenna restrictions, perhaps you are in a condo that doesn't 
allow outdoor antennas at all. Can you put the antenna in the attic? I 
can't think of a clever way of disguising a loop like the way you might have a vertical in a flagpole.


Keep us posted on your experiments!

GM all. 
I tried the Wellbrook active loop this session on 630m (LMF) but got no wspr decodes. I put it at the same level next to my wall near my LOTW antenna [the LOTW was detuned for this test].


This morning before 6 am I switched back to my LOTW and picked up N6LF's 
wspr at 6:14 am. [Thanks for being there Rudy!]


I am wondering if W loops need to be elevated just like the Eprobe active whips 
??  


More experiments to follow....
