[Premium-Rx] Reflector Tech Problem

[Les Locklear]

Paul and the Group,
 
Having recently celebrated my 81st Birthday after divesting myself of the actual "Premium" receivers, I'm down to a Hammarlund HQ-180, Lowe HF-225 Europa and an Icom 756 Pro III.
 
We sold our home of 42 years in September 2023 and made a 3.5 mile move east to a smaller home with the accompanying smaller yard. The configuration of the "L" shaped yard meant my previous 81 ft. longwire wasn't going up. I looked and researched and purchased a Broadband receive Loop Antenna from here: https://nobleradio.com/page11.html
 
I installed it about 15 ft. above the ground with a rotor. Very quiet and the nulls are great.
 
I vote to keep it up and running.
 
Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years to all.
 
Les Locklear
Gulfport, Mississippi
Dx'ing since '57
