I recently constructed K9AY loops with an Aziloop system. Unfortunately, the
cold weather in NE Ohio caused the telescoping fiberglass mast to collapse
(need to add clamps). I’m hoping there is no damage to the loop control unit
from moisture ingress. When I get this back up and running, I plan to use it
with my transmit tee antenna and my NCC-2 to hopefully further improve receive
performance on 160 against local noise. It will be interesting to hear how
others are doing with the NCC-2.
