Good day Lewis:
Unfortunately it is almost exactly East-West, so I don't think you have
a chance of seeing the signal. Reading past e-mails on the reflector , and
some articles by European operators using loops - show they are very
directional, which appears to be the major disadvantage.
Bill (WA) used to electronically switch between the two loops and thus would
appear and disappear like clockwork as he switched. It was very interesting
to see the signal variation during a long overnight capture.
I will keep you posted if I can get a North/South system going.
