Re: [HCDX] ALA100

["hoppy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <hoppy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Hannu, (and list),

I have an ALA 1530. I haven't had much of a chance recently to use my dx 
kit due to work commitments. BUT I can assure you that before I got the 
loop I couldn't hear ANYTHING on the tropical bands at all. I live in a 
very electrically noisy area. Now I can hear most stations.  GBC2 from 
Ghana is sinpo 22222. most africans are easily heard now. I would love to 
try it in an electrically quiet location!.
Hope this helps, 73's

Hoppy :-)
