IBIUNA

Rx / Antennas: 

After 8 days in Ibiuna, back in São Bernardo, It's time to organize the technical data, collected in my rural area house, 80 km from São Paulo City.

In Ibiuna, this time, it was an excellent opportunity to verify that an aluminum loop antenna 90 cm in diameter, built by a friend of mine, an engineer, surprised me with the results obtained.

In fact, I acted with three antennas:

. AlexLoop, passive antenna,110 cm diameter, indoor for manual tuning adjustments. An excellent antenna, a satisfactory performance from 7 to 30 MHz; 

. AOR LA-400 (N -> S), (100 kHz - 500 MHz) at the external level, also brought the usual excellent result (external performance better as to the internal one, off course); and,

. 90 cm aluminum magnetic loop (E -> W), (130 kHz - 30 MHz), active (homemade in Osasco SP). In several cases, a better performance as of the AOR LA-400, highlighting the background 'silence', allowing for greater quality efficiency.

Practically, all the generated loggings (listed below), arfe originated from the 90 cm loop. This was my objective. And, it was achieved! 

Surely, this loop antenna becomes part of the shack in Ibiuna as definitively!!!! I will continue (no rush!) checking in practice which antennas have better results, there are still others that will enter this role.

. The receiver: Icom IC-R8500. 

Transforming the Ibiuna shack pleasurable is the ultimate goal: quality in receptions, with the possibility of diverting the harmful electrical noise of the urban region, as I have in São Bernardo.
