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!
