ALA1530S+ with 25kw AM Broadcast station a mile away
I guess I never noticed that the KNZR towers down the street were pushing 25,000 watts in the day. The 10,000 watts at night are not as noticeable. With the Wellbrook loop, I heard KNZR on my KX3 on every band at S9+, all the way up past 28 MHz. I had just bought a PX3 too. The ALA1530+ is the only antenna I am able to use here right now, and am an SWL when at home. I bought an FTDX1200, which also hears the AM broadcast station across most bands. On their frenquency, they are over 60dB over S9.
Is anyone using a filter with success? I emailed Jack at Cliftonlabs, but he hasn't replied with pricing yet. I don't care if I lose 160 meters.
