[Lowfer] Worthwhile going to Shielded loop?

[Bill Ashlock]

>My Ashlock loop picks up Dex with no preamp so I consider it good enough.

A one time deal when all the nationhood light dimmers were turned off? 
(Remember, I've seen some of your captures with huge swipes of noise on the 
screen) I checked and the inventor of that Ashlock loop says they usually 
don't work well as receiving antennas because they typically can't be 
located far enough from noise sources. (Even your buried ground radials are 
big-time noise sources). Have you compared reception with a 6ft diam 
balanced loop a good distance from any house? Yah, you do need a walk-around 
SVM, to get a 'feel' for the signal variables, so I'll take the hit. <G> May 
be stopping in, soon, for a demo!
