Les, The ALA1530 I sent to you is basically the same one as Guy Atkins reviewed with the Pixel Pro 1-A back in 2010 or 2011. http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/pdf/ALA1530AntennaFactorChart.pdf gives the sensitivity.
The gain is slightly higher, especially at LF and offers better performance compared to the ALA1530+ and the L version. The same loop element is used in the ALA1530S+ Imperium.

Thank you for this act of unnecessary kindness. Also, can you tell me what would be the correct way to describe the antenna upgrade that I just purchased from you? Would it be ALA-1530+, ALA-1530L, etc? I'm sure a lot of North American DX'ers are keenly interested in hearing about the latest version of this fantastic antenna! 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF Les Rayburn, Director High Noon Film 130 1st Avenue West Alabaster, AL 35007-8536 (205) 621-7500 (205) 621-7505 FAX (205) 253-4867 CELL http://www.highnoonfilm.com --------------------------------------------- This e-mail contains information that may be confidential or privileged and is intended only for the person(s) named above.

It just arrived safely from the UK, but I'm remembering that mounting this antenna can be a challenge. It isn't really equipped with a mounting bracket per se--leaving it to the individual user to engineer a solution. I'm interested in hearing or even better, seeing photos of what solutions other users in the United States have come up with for mounting this antenna. Plan to mount it on a small TV rotor here in the backyard. All suggestions appreciated. -- -- 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf 6M VUCC #1712 AMSAT #38965 Grid Bandits #222 Southeastern VHF Society Central States VHF Society Life Member Six Club #2484 Active on 6 Meters thru 1296, 10GHz & Light _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
