Re: [IRCA] GeoClock

P.S. I will not shed tears if Geoclock disappears. DX Atlas is sharper looking and also allows me to add cities of import like Grayland. Aside from the theoretical $30 to register, I see no issue. And really the $30 is a request: it keeps working after the trial period although it has a nag

Re: [IRCA] GeoClock

Thanks for the offer on 9.0 Chuck. I admit that I don't miss Geoclock as much as others seem to, but in the interests of science I should try it if it claims to be 64-bit compatible just to see if it works. If it does, I have 64-bit W8 and W10 available for more experimentation. My

Re: [IRCA] EXPERIENCE WITH LARGE LOOPS

I think Nick nailed it. I've used loops of "enormous" diameters, and multiple loops, too (like twice around). Andy recommended separating these by about a foot (30 cm). My largest loop circumference would be close to 150 to 200'. Again, mostly for convenience with trees located in that space.

Re: [IRCA] EXPERIENCE WITH LARGE LOOPS

A number of folks on the Yahoo ndblist use the ALA100 preamp with larger circumference loops for LF NDB reception, and loops in the 120-150 foot circumference work very well, as long as the loop isn't pointed right at a strong nearby AMBC station--then overload can be experienced. I've used

Re: [IRCA] EXPERIENCE WITH LARGE LOOPS

The quick answer isuse whatever size loop is convenient Mark.You might lose a few dB in overall signal strength, but signal to noise won't change, and I suspect you have plenty of gain to spare in your receiver. On the other hand, 60' circumference (not radius or diameter, hi)

CNR1-1593 just pounding in 1515UT, HLAZ-1566 not far behind...certainly CNR1 is better than heard at Grayland a few days ago, hi. Not much else though. best wishes, Nick ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] EXPERIENCE WITH LARGE LOOPS

Finally in possession of a Wellbrook ALA-100 (sometimes us old folks move slowly). I'm intrigued by the idea of a large magnetic loop and seeking war stories from anyone who has built these larger-circumference arrays. Wellbrook suggest a 60-foot circumference is about as large as you should
