Thank you to all who have commented on the electronic noise cancellers by Timewave and MFJ. I'm still browsing the archives. My tx antenna is a full size quarter wave vertical with base insulator and

I have been using the K6STI horizontal loop design described here for several years now. I am very happy with mine, built switchable to cover 75, 80, and 160. STI comments that the output will be low

Thanks to all who made note of the K6STI loop. The K3KY website shows the loop fed with 450 ohm ladderline. The original article is much more detailed. I urge anyone who has questions to get the Sept

Wow! Thanks a million, George. This is an example of what makes the Topband group such a joy. I will add those comments to my webpage writeup of the K6STI loop. Those who read the articles will end u

I believe the K6STI loop and even the Flag/Pennant family are getting unfairly slammed in the informal ham 'press' such as the Topband group. While the temptation to compare them is absolutely irresi

G'day Don, A couple of other simple ideas you might like to try as a low noise rx antenna, as you seem to have plenty of real estate, is to try a couple of low full-size horizontally polarised antenn

I don't think so Dave. I think it reasonable to point out as antennas are made smaller and smaller, they generally become more and more critical to build. It is also reasonable to point out that the

Hi, TomFrankly, I have zero emotional investment in whether the loop receives any horizontally polarized signal or not. The fact remains that I am seeing real, usable improvement in S/N over my 80 an

Hi David, Most DX signals, if not nearly all signals at a modest or greater distances, are vertically polarized when near earth. That is why our "noise" is substantially vertically polarized, and sig

Hi Steve, Atmospheric noise is just like skywave signals. It is random in polarization. It can only be reliably discriminated against with antenna directivity in azimuth or elevation response without
