A couple of thoughts here, good or bad: 1. I can see the case for an array of loops. However, wouldn't it be less time-consuming --not to mention less expensive-- to just get an additional MFJ-1026 to effectively null the second noise source? Null out one noise in the first 1026, and then null out the second noise source in the second 1026? (If not in this case, then in other situations?)
2. I'm well aware that a separate noise antenna placed very close to the RFI source can be extremely effective. However, if that's not possible, then how about two identical RX antennas fed into a 1026? At one time, I was toying with the idea feeding my main Beverage, and a second, parallel Beverage, into my 1026. The idea was to try and phase out distant line noise, among other things. I have a 1026 here with most of Tom's mods, but I've never used it since I moved here 10 years ago. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 9:11 AM, Tom W8JI <[email protected]> wrote: > The issue with just combining noise antennas is, to phase antennas, there > have to be at least two phase shift and at least two amplitude-sensitive > paths involved. > _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
