I live in a city but still enjoy 160 meters. Though not a keener I still like
entering the 160 meters contests and trying to work any DX I can hear. As you
all know, living in a city surrounded by homes with many, many RFI devices,
noisy power lines etc, it can be a real challenge to come up with a receiving
system that allows one to hear weaker stations. A couple of years ago I
built a rotatable terminated loop for receiving and tested two noise cancelors,
the ARC-4 and MFJ-1650
I have describe my experiences on my 160M web page at:
www.ve7ca.net/Ant160.htm
Maybe some of you fellows may find this helpful or at least an interesting read.
73 and enjoy the Top Band postings.
