I did try it with a small loop using a toroid input transformer like the one recently discussed relating to the Burhans pre-amp but that was a worse than useless with the Decca pre-amp. If anyone has had any success with this using other antenna's & what form of matching/couplng has beenI would be very interested to know. Please let me know. By the way, I saw a reference to an SAQ transmission taking place this sunday in an e-mail on LW reflector, is there going to be a test?
