Dear all,
both transmissions from SAQ today have been well received here in qth JN68GN
with about 15 dB signal to noise ratio when using a vertical single turn wire
loop with a circumference of about 15 meters, coupled to the coax via a 1:15
upwards transformer (no match between cable impedance and converter input). The
converter to 14 MHz is using an IC SO42E (similar to MC1496 or NE602). My best
copy of SAQ so far, because of the new converter and the loop antenna.
On the longwire antenne, however, SAQ has been almost unreadable.
On next SAQ transmission I would like to compare the loop to a mini-whip active
antenna far from the house, the cable screen also grounded far from the house.
