[IRCA] Antenna rotors for magnetic loops
I don't see any recent discussions about antenna rotors in my searches. What would be a good rotor for use with the W6LVP? I've never used a rotor, so I don't really know what to look for in regards to the best features for AM DXing.

Re: [IRCA] Antenna rotors for magnetic loops
Depending upon how easily accessible the rotor will be, you'll want to get something that is sturdy enough to handle winds and ice. I've learned to cap to top of the mast if it's open to prevent water infiltration and also to seal where the mast goes into the rotor to accomplish the same.

Re: [IRCA] Antenna rotors for magnetic loops
Mark, For my Wellbrook loop I simply used a rotator for a standard TV antenna.

[IRCA] HLCA Hanminjok on 972 kHz
Hello everyone. I scored my first MW catch out of Korea this morning when HLCA 972 popped up out of the splatter at 1305 UTC. They weren't strong for very long, but they were nice enough to give me a little intelligible audio before disappearing. I will consider this an early Christmas present. -Tim The cornfields of Iowa Perseus receiver, SAL-30 antenna. ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] Antenna rotors for magnetic loops (W6LVP loop)
I realize Mark (or anyone else) never asked, but I've done extensive experiments with the W6LVP loop and preamp. It is poor for MW and only starts to do well at HF. Due to its high input impedance it does not match the single-turn loop until up at HF. If your interest is primarily MW I do not recommend the W6LVP setup. (I've done the same for the newer MFJ 1886 loop and preamp and that one is even worse--it doesn't even have decent gain at MW.) 73, Steve AA7U On 12/16/2018 9:34 AM, Mark Pettifor wrote: I don't see any recent discussions about antenna rotors in my searches.

Re: [IRCA] HLCA Hanminjok on 972 kHz
Nice catch Tim. It was a reasonable morning on the west coast as well, though I noticed stronger signals around 1400UT than at sunrise. Sunrise, however, can be when more unusual signals appear. This morning, that was CNR6 on 1089. At 18:26 2018-12-16, tim rahto wrote: Hello everyone.

I saw carriers on 774 and 747, but not much else. It seems like I could hear just about everything out of Korea (2850 was +10 for a while) but not much of anything else.
