The QRN static is still bad on 137khz and 160 metres. Receiving 137 Khz signals on my 80 metre loop suffers just the same as my vertical. Both produce the same level of static. The theory about loop advantage over a vertical is not correct.

A very small loop might be different. I have never used one so do not know. Trying to DX last night on 160 was a problem.

Nothing heard beyond SV2
