[Premium-Rx] Palomar Antennas

[DAVEINBHAM at aol.com]

I bought a set of the Palomar loop antennas last year and I am very 
dissapointed with them.
I trid using them with my Tentec RX350. They don't work any better than a 
longwire.
I have not yet tried the Palomar with either the R390A or the Racal RA6790/GM.
I bought the Palamor primarily to take to the beach with the Tentec. There is 
little possibility to rig an antenna at the beach.
So, the question is, is it antenna malfunction or operator malfunction ?
Comments, please.

Thank you.
Kindest regards,
Dave

I 
bought a Polamar magnetic antenna kit and for a kick decided to QSL the 
whole US BC band in one night. I sent a report to a station in Southwest 
Oklahoma that had a cardioid pattern aimed at New Mexico. Being in 
Southern  Minnesota I was in the null of their pattern; I got a long 
letter from their engineer asking what kind of radio and antenna I had 
to be able to do that.
