I first used my Alpha Loop during the T-Rex exercise (www.amrron.com) with a FT-817ND. During the T-Rex exercise all HF bands were crashed due to some solar winds so phone was out; however, digital ruled the day. I was able to make several digital contacts with other digital operators including the contact of the weekend with an AmRRON operator in Idaho, 1700 miles with 2.5 watts! I received a week signal from the particular operator and I swung the Alpha Loop towards her direction and I made a 100% copy with the 817 and the Alpha Loop.
Since T-Rex I have made several QSO’s from both field and base (within my home) with both digital and phone. This is a GREAT system and I highly recommend!
