+++ This is a test of possibilities using indoor loop
antennas in my new radio-shack, that is being assembled in my second home
(rural area of Ibiuna), in a beautiful landscape, mountains and dense forest,
around 910 m above sea level.
In this place, many new sounds: horses, cows, roosters,
ducks, dogs, birds, etc... And, last Saturday night we were visited by a type
of a fox that lives in the Atlantic Forest of the region. A fantastic scene.
The flashlight used outside left no doubt, as well, as the footprint marks on
the fresh cement at the floor.
The antennas used on this action: AlexLoop SML7-30 (7 to
30 MHz, passive antenna); Quantum Loop Radio Plus + (active antenna, used for
medium waves, from 530 to 1710 kHz - very sensitive, and very directive) -
this, connected to a Potomac FL-31 filter; and, a AOR LA-400 antenna (active
antenna, covering 153 kHz to 30 MHz). The three antennas with an excelent
result. There was no a comparative test, but just a seek for a good result. And
it was posible.
As a next step, I will test one or two external antennas
(perhaps my brand new W6LVP antena and the MiniWhip PA0RDT, ... or...), seeking to
know the best environment for a definitive decision: to use better internal or
the external antennas, or even both. The actual verification was very good.
