Hi all,
I'm debating which Wellbrook loop to get. One option is using coax for the loop which can be 3-5 meters and is portable when taken apart; also by using the larger length one gets more capture area. The other option is the aluminum 1 meter diameter loop. It will mainly be fixed/home loop, but portability is intriguing.
I read that coax loops have more resistance, thus less efficient compared to all metal. Would you hear weak signal/DX better with the aluminum??? Any suggestions or ideas welcome.
Thanks
