Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mark Fahey, who comments:<\/p>\n

My WRTH<\/a> is still in transit to me, however, Thomas’s comment in the post about the Cross Country Wireless Active Loop<\/a> sparked my interest and I surfed over to their website<\/a>. They have a great collection of really innovative antennas. I’m fascinated to see that their designs use balanced pairs within an ethernet cable instead of a coax feedline. Surfing to their website was very dangerous! My fingers are itching to order an antenna, or worst still (for my wallet) more than one of their models.<\/p>\n

Has anyone been using one? My interest would be for “on-the-road” field use on MW & SW.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for your question, Mark! Like you, I’m very curious how portable this loop may be. Readers: please comment if you have any experience with the Cross Country Wireless Active Loop!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
