All these were made listening with the Pixel Technolgies RF PRO-1A Receiving
loop and?my bazooka for transmit.? Some with the?differential kicked in on the
K3 and some without.? The receiving loop does make a difference---condtions
were?very good too.? After this?weekend, it pushes my worked count on 160
Meters to 75.? I usually work a few Caribbean stations and one or 2 Europeans
on any contest weekend where I work 160.
?
I'm on about a third of an acre with the loop mounted above my beam at about 45'
I obviously have no room for beverages (the antenna kind) and?I still haven't
put my K9AY up yet.? The RF PRO-1A is a little pricey, but boy it sures works
great for me--Your mileage may vary.
