Hello Steve, The info, on the W6LVP website is sparse on any meaningful data e.g. IMD, Noise figure and Antenna factor. I noticed that Larry's website states that the shipping cost to the US for a Wellbrook loop is USD 100.00 when in fact it is only USD 60.00. But one can excuse a simple

Re: [IRCA] Array Solutions SAL-30

Les, Forgive me for butting in on this topic! If you phase identical antennas, the array gain is proportional to the antenna spacing. Hence, the gain of the SAL-30 drops off too much on the AM band. One also has to contend with pattern degradation with close proximity surrounding
