If you are talking about a vertical, you should be looking for maximum RF
current at the feed point, or better still, maximum measured field stre
I have been observing an intruder whose behavior is unlike anything I have
seen before. It consists of a comb spectrum of CW tones in the 160m band.
They pulse on and off at a regular interval. There is never any form of
identification transmitted by it.
Thanks to my Elecraft P3 panadapter, I
For what it is worth, I have a Pixel up and running and several 200 foot
terminated bogs. The Pixel is not a bad antenna but it will not beat a
properly cut and terminated BOG on 160M. My Pixel has been in operation for
2 years and the BOGS the same. The Pixel is mounted about 5 feet above the
grou
On the vidhe says the Pixel is 30' high.
That is too high.
My Pixel is nowhere near that noisy.
It is 7' high located in the clear.

It was not clear the loop was rotated to null the noise. IF SO, that's a BIG
improvement in SN

Hi Ken,
Small diameter "magnetic" loops such as the Pixel can be very
effective in nulling a single vertically polarized local RFI source,
fortunately most local RFI sources are vertically polarized. Their
deep narrow beamwidth null is also very useful for determining the
location of an RFI
Wow! The BOG blows the Pixel loop away. The loop sounds like my
vertical! I wonder if there might be a feedline problem? Surely the loop
isn't meant to be that noisy.

Mixed reviews.
Pixel loop antenna vs 200 foot BOG antenna at VO1HP.
