[Lowfer] Worthwhile going to Shielded loop?

Mon, 27 Oct 2003 19:39:09 -0600

Paul, I use a 10 ft. sq. shielded loop and a 40 ft. sq. unshielded.
I receive WEB day time on the shielded @ 450 miles, Quieter than the
unshielded. What I like about it , I can turn it. that worth a lot. my
unshielded is orientated N/S I can still get WEB on it , but not as well as
turning the Shielded in his direction.
