TESTIMONIALS
	Hi All, I ordered a mag loop from Alex PY1AHD. It is a kit that requires a little soldering, but I put it together in about 15 minutes. I must say that its performance has exceeded my expectations. It is standing up against the wall of my second story ham shack. I have worked several stations on 20, 30 and now, tonight, 40 meters. The 40 meter band here near Seattle is pretty much dead. After calling CQ on my IC-7000 at 100 watts without success, I fired up the IC-703 at 10 watts and went to 7.030. The loop tuned up to two bars on the IC-703 SWR meter. I put the 703 on a repeating loop calling CQ. I was first answered by WA6TQJ in Davis, CA. After that I called CQ again a few times and was answered by K7MOA in Carlsbad, CA, which is just about as far south in CA you can go. I expected the loop to work well on 20 and above, but I am really impressed with its performance on 40. Alex makes an outstanding product! 73, Joe - WO8J Hello Alex. My name is Murilo PY2DS . I have purchased on July 2008 at FENARCOM the AlexLoop SML 7-30 portable magnetic loop antenna. I went for Christmas to my grandfather’s farm located in GUAREI on south São Paulo, taking with me the FT-817ND and the small magnetic loop antenna. On Christmas Eve I went to an elevated point near the farm entrance, with the FT817 hanged on my neck. The antenna was supported on a bamboo pole. I was running only 2.5 watts with the FT 817 powered by the internal batteries and have made contacts in 20 meters with Brazilian stations I was quite happy with the results when I have been surprised with a contact that I will never forget in my life. It was JE1LET located in Tokyo metropolitan area on 14.222 MHz USB, coming with a 4:1 signal. I have never imagined that I could establish a QSO like this running only 2.5 watts on such small antenna. Some days latter, I returned for the New Years Eve with a 12 VDC, 7 amps battery. I have made contacts to Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, U.S.A., Hawaii, German, England, and Australia running 5 watts. It was unbelievable because in 11 years on radio I have never listen Australia. I was amazed because I have not only listened, but I have talked to Australia. I decided to write you and give my congratulations for the fantastic product. Murilo PY2DS. top
