[IRCA] Wellbrook Arrays at Grayland (was re: Day ONE @ Grayland)
At 05:17 PM 10/31/2009 -0500,Neil Kazaross wrote: (SEE MY RESPONSE BELOW - Bryant) : This is good news about the arrays. Once again I will stress that I think end fire arrays of two cardioid antennas will be a major step forward for those with the room to use them (home users need a good sized yard) and whom are only interested in one general direction. I presume that you were using Wellbrook components for both arrays? My appologies to all for not yet testing the 2 KAZ (delta flag) array here. My bad back has returned and is becoming chronic once again. I can cope with the pain to lay out wires on the ground and phasing them, but getting up a ladder to trees for cardioid antennas is currently out of the question. Anyhow..I am so happy to see you guys testing two loops !!! I presume that both these arrays are basically set and forget and give great back end nulls across the entire band? If so then there's all sort of interesting possibilities for pattern improvements..ie more narrow main beam or phasing something out off to the side of the main beam if you phase one array vs the other (although I think you'd space them further than 150 feet apart) Hmmm Russia clobbering KGO 810.. that sounds like awesome F/B to me! Your Chinese logging on 900 past Victoria indicates a rather narrow beamwidth as well ! Looking to read more.. 73 KAZ Bryant's reply: Kaz, Really sorry to hear that your back is acting up again. I know from personal experience how persistent and debilitating those things can be. I'm sure that Andy Ikin is anxious to get your insight on his new FLG100 antenna and two loop array, but I'm certain that he understands. As it happens, I'm ending up doing some of the evaluation in your stead mostly from necessity. I'm just amazed at the progress in antenna design that has been made, mostly by Andy and Wellbrook, but also some others working on their own and Dallas Lankford teaming up with Guy Atkins. The first step in this whole revolution was the growing appreciation of large, broadband single turned loops, vertically, as antennas. The Wellbrook ALA100, still an exceptional antenna, was one of the prominent commercial versions of that movement. The advantage in noise rejection, relatively small footprint and relative stealthiness made it a real winner for DXers on small urban and suburban lots. Its classic wide figure-of-8 pattern was an advantage in many applications and a weakness only for DXers desiring either much narrower lobes or a cardoid, uni-directional pattern (or both). I'd guess that the ALA100 will be a staple in Wellbrook's lineup for many years to come. As phasing developed over the years, most of the work (Misek, Connelly) focused on combining signals from two long wire antennas, usually Beverages until the last decade, or so. Most phasers were also designs that required at least tweaking at each frequency of interest. DXers did and still do amazing things with that technology. Three things excited me about Andy's original phased array: a) the fact that it was broadband, basically allowing the DXer to set and forget b) the fact that it was based on two small ALA100 loops, excellent antennas themselves, arranged in a fairly small footprint and c) that it was reversible with the flick of a switch. One array of two loops could cover the horizon, but two pairs (N, S, E, W) cloudy really cover the horizon. I loved that array and found that it equaled or surpassed the short 600' and 900' Beverages that I routinely deploy at Grayland. That original ALA-100 Array is still the best antenna in some limited situations, IMHO. That is the antenna that I've used for the past 30 months or so and I still love it. The other interesting line of development in recent years has been the broadly-based development of a whole stable of DIRECTIONAL single-turn broadband loops. At this point, I don't really remember whether the EWE, the Flag or the Pennant came first, soon to be followed, of course, by the KAZ. Anyway, with those antennas, individually 15 dB or more of F/B ratio, I guess that it was just a matter of time until Andy (and surely others soon) to combine broadband phasing with already directional loops. Andy says that he has gotten over 50 dB F/B in field tests. I've not yet gotten to that range, but I'm restricted here by poor ground, rocky terrain, cliffs, etc. I'm sure that I'll get better that 50 dB in some configurations when I get back to my cow pasture in Oklahoma in another month or so. As I understand it, Andy has brought out two new DIRECTIONAL single loop antennas and two new Arrays, each based on one of those new loop designs. What I have here is four K9AY loop heads. With the right base units in the shack, each would be a separate REVERSIBLE K9AY directional loop. Using the biggest Phased Loop Array controller, you can phase and reverse two phased pairs of k9AYs.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-3... Better
Hello All, This morning the sunrise enhancement (1415-1500) here didn't bring anything new, but the signal levels were better than yesterday, and some interesting stations were heard. Although not near the peak October levels, it was the best day so far in November here. 891 kHz had a nice mix of a presumed Thailand and NHK1 at 1440, and 603 kHz had HLSA mixing with the UnID Chinese at 1443. Around 1446 the 594 kHz frequency changed from a solid JOAK talk program to a mix with the Korean-pop music HLS1, and for a very brief time at 1448 the UnID Chinese was also heard together with these two, down in the noise. This was the first time all season that 594-JOAK was heard with both co-channels at the same time. A quick scramble to search for weak Chinese co-channels on 774 and 828 kHz (reported by Nick recently) proved fruitless, however, and checks of 549, 648 and 711kHz (a very tough frequency here, with KIRO splatter) at peak dawn enhancement (around 1450) did not come up with anything. Despite the action on 594 kHz, 585 had nothing but a weak NHK1 JOPG at 1458, and the Korean reported by Nick on 567 did not even register as a weak carrier here (not surprising, with the semi-local 570-KVI splattering away). So even though no new TP's were received, it was an interesting morning on the experimental 9' box loop, and much better than the moribund conditions of yesterday. Hopefully John, Nick and Bruce were able to hear some nice DX also. 73, Gary DeBock Spotting receiver: Modified ICF-2010 (30 loopstick) Main receiver: Modified C.Crane SWP (7.5 Slider loopstick + CFJ455K5 IF filter) 9' and 6' (side) PVC tuned passive loops (in the back yard) ___ 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] 17 x 30 Super Loops + Day THREE
I got up at 3:00 on Monday morning, expecting to antenna test for about an hour and then DX until dawn as per usual. I did that first hour of antenna testing with very interesting results, but at that point, I pulled the plug. Conditions were down considerably from Sunday and down even more from Saturday morning, so I said What the heck! and dived back under the covers for three more hours of sleep before taking down all six masts, accompanying wire, coax, power feeds (for the K9AYs) and general junk. By 9:30, I was one tired puppy, but on my way back home. I arrived here on Orcas Island at 5:30PM, as usual. Boy, that makes for a very tough day at the end of the DXpedition. So, the 79 or so stations that I logged the first two mornings are it as far as my contribution to the cause. I'll upload the loggings to the appropriate places in the next 24 hours or so. The final A/B tests done Monday morning were quite revealing, though the results were largely those that were expected. The K9AYs had produced very consistent 30 dB nulls with a few approaching forty degrees. They were exactly 40 meters apart and were 35' x 15' high squashed Deltas. The combined included area is 525 sq.ft. I shortened the previous 60'x17' Super Loops to 30' x 17' and maintained the maximum spacing. So, the new spacing was 45 meters, center-to-center. The new smaller Super Loops out-gained the K9AYs only about 3 to 5 dB... maybe a little more in a few cases. That 3-5 dB additional gain was present from top to bottom of the dial. The major differences were in F/B ratio across the dial, nulling specific stations on the back side, and in narrowness of front lobe. In all of these parameters, the Super Loop was considerably superior to the K9AY. I rush to point out that this is not a general condemnation of the K9AY... It was working against four radials that were laid atop damp sand and were operating as a much less than perfect ground. In situations of good grounding, the K9AY's ability to be switch reversible is a non-paralleled advantage in domestic DXing and a handy attribute even in shore side trans-oceanic DXing. However, it this situation of shore side DXing from rocky or sandy beaches, the use of antenna elements THAT DO NOT REQUIRE GROUNDING just makes all kind of sense. On top of that, array elements made of Super Loops (or KAZs, or flags or pennants) that themselves, individually, offer significant directionality is just that much more reason to favor them in shore-side situations. I made several careful runs up the band, noting channels where one or the other antenna was OBVIOUSLY better. I made note of 15 channels. In each and every case, the Super Array was the one that was superior. In some cases, it was clear that it was gain that was making the difference. In others, it seemed that the biggest advantage was S/N. Looking at narrowness of front lobe I compared the two systems on 690 (about 20 to 30 degrees off the front side) and there was a clear advantage top the Super Loop. There was no difference on 1130 (further to the right, but still front lobe) and there was a slight advantage to the Super Loop on 1600 (front lobe); so, to, 900. Backside nulling was noticeably better on the Super Loops... about 10 dB or more. It was particularly noticed on 810, 1080, 1530 and 1440. All in all, the array of two Super Loops with twice the sail-area, proved consistently superior to the K9AY array in these tests. That is it from my most recent DXpedition to Grayland. I'll get the loggings up in the next day or two.

It may be that during the time of his post to the list and me receiving it, WRUF went to their night time power. They are heard here quite often after midnight with day power. Willis Old Fort, TN At 7:30 PM CST, WRUF-850, Gainesville, FL has been in solid at my N Alabama QTH for the last half hour w/ Sporting News Radio programming. Never heard here at night.

Re: [IRCA] Boston 1510 (and what about ...)

Even after all these years I still recall Mad Daddy on wins say Mad Daddy chasing your Monday blues and scoobie do's... what ever they were hi!
