Neal - I have one...it really starts rolling off at 15M, and will never be mistaken for Yagi on any band, but I can use it as a diversity input right up to 10M. The ability to null noise, of which I have a lot of , can't be understated.

What is your impression? When I was considering one, I was thinking actually of having 2 set permanently at 90 degrees apart. Just got royally disappointed when I talked to owners about its sensitivity from 40-6. 73 Neal Campbell Owner Abroham Neal LLC Work: +1 540 645 5394 Mobile: +1 540 645 8171 On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 4:00 PM, Tim Ellison <[email protected]>wrote: > We use a Pixel loop for the FLEX-6700 hamfest demos. it works great and > has phenomenal side rejection.
