Hi Paul, I tried your custom built Ham Radio C-FILTER-5P-NOTCH-1620KHz 5Pole 60dB Notch Filter for 1620KHz on various receivers. I could not see any drop in sensitivity on the 160m band, but wow the clarity I'm now getting across that band is incredible. No more interference spots and breakthrough from the local AM transmitter on 1620KHz (PK Edit/Addition; Transmitter is 900 metres away from customer premises). I have been suffering from so much crap/intermods and blocking from that local am station it is now amazing to see what is possible without that influence. The Long wave band is about the same because of the high quality ferrite loading coil I use on the antenna for that band but again I see no change in sensitivity so it looks like the filter will always remain in the antenna path for receiving at least. Thanks again Paul, your filter is a valuable tool for my shack! 73’s Steve, VK3YJQ, Victoria |
Hi all at PK's, I just had to write to tell you how stunned we were with the performance of the A-LOOP-TAM we recently purchased from you. I must admit to being slightly sceptical as to how it would perform but desperate enough to give it a try as we are some 350km north from ABC 531Khz in Perth; usually reasonable reception after sundown but nothing at daytime ,you can imagine my delight as i tuned the antenna at noon and received reception so clear and strong that i had to turn the radio volume down to about one third volume. A bit of experimenting and we were receiving 6 stations, some from the coast which is over 400 km distant. At night I noticed we didnt get the stations fading in and out and the volume knob turned barely on. I anticipate saving on radio batteries because of this. A very big thank you and please feel free to use this correspondence as you see fit. Frank Ward, Cue , Western Australia |
Hi Paul, just wanted to say thanks for sending the new radio, it's working fantastically with the loop antenna. I have moved it to lots of different places around the house and now have great reception, we are listening to our favourite talkback and gardening shows. Thank you again...................

| Paul, this is just to let you know that we are very satisfied with the antenna ( A-Loop-TAM Tunable AM Loop ) that you suggested would be suitable in our Cardiff (Newcastle area ) location. The reception of Sydney radio station 2GB has greatly improved and our sanity has been restored. Thanks for your assistance. Jenny and Allan H. Cardiff New South Wales |
Paul, you have saved my marriage! Let me explain: Bindoon is hilly and has lot of "black" spots; no free-to-air TV and Wireless networks are barely usable. Our beautiful house is perfect for this location; double brick, 3 meter veranda all around, open hearth fireplace, satellite TV and .... a tin roof. My dear wife can't stand much of today's TV and habitually retires early each night to a good book or tunes in to the ABC on AM (FM can't get through anyway). But AM broadcasts were rarely clear and often downright unintelligible. I tried a heap of solutions; expensive radios, external aerial and even satellite radio. There were issues with all these, from awkward to horribly expensive. Then by good fortune, my Google search popped up with your product, the Tunable AM Loop ( A-LOOP-TAM ). My marriage has never been on sounder footing. Your product is all it claims to be and I can't thank enough the genius that made it possible. Regards, John R, Bindoon Western Australia |
Hi Paul, just a few lines to express my utmost appreciation for your advice on the best way to pick up 846 Canberra and others......... The reception of this radio ( Sangean PR-D7 ) is brilliant in this building, compared to at least 5 others I have tried. It is as you said a little clearer with battery power. I will get some rechargeable batteries later. By all accounts it is a very bad building to get stuff clear, but this radio is fantastic to be able to deliver acceptable sound. The loop antenna ( A-LOOP-MTAM ) just gives it that edge. At home and away from this area, we found the following: We could listen to 702 Sydney, clear as a bell, something we have never
been able to receive!!! We can receive 12 AM stations, 25 FM stations!!!
Truly astonishing as I didn't even know that many FM stations came
across our area! The tone and sound quality is amazing from such a small
package with a 3" speaker-truly a fantastic radio. Stunning. Nice
design looks great, small enough to take to the footy with great
features. Once again thank you for your help and expert advice; we will be telling others about this terrific radio and your service. Very happy are we! Bill and Sandra T, Canberra ACT |
Boy, is it nice to buy something that actually works as advertised. As we are all aware, most products are advertised with smoke and mirrors, i.e A whole lot of hype and very little to offer in reality. Your Longwave Loop has me totally amazed, it performs better than I ever dreamed a loop would work. I have used active antenna's and long wires in the past (25+ years) and nothing has come close to your product, I don't buy cheap junk, for an example I use Sony active antennas, also eavesdropper antenna's, I thought these were good performers, not anymore. Now I can keep the wife happy by not having long wires etc. strung all around the yard, the loops take up no space at all. Paul, I am in the process of building a new home, but when it's finished, I will be talking to you about your remote mounted loops. Just for your information my Radios are, Icom ic r75 (fully modded), Sony SW7600gr and a Sony ICF7600 Regards, David French, Lulworth, Tasmania |
Dear Paul, you have won my wife Helen's heart, she listened to both 972 kHz and dear old 3LO on 774 kHz last night when we got home from Adelaide. Excellent reception! Demonstrated to her the loops magic on the other SA stations and this morning on 594 kHz from Horsham, our companion for many hours on our travels in to Victoria, particularly to Melbourne and Wodonga to visit family. A sincere thank you and congratulations on your workmanship, you should be justly proud of your product. Happy New Year and thanks again ! Regards, Peter Barclay VK5CA, Port Elliot South Australia |
Hi Paul, I have been using the Passive Longwave loop antenna (A-LOOP-LWT190-550) now for two solid weeks and I couldn't be happier with its performance. I'm using it coupled inductively to a Sangean ATS-909 portable receiver. Every night I discover several new beacons, some of them 2000 km away and one night I copied BBC4 on 198 KHz, over 5500 km! And this is in summer, with continuous lightning static ! The tuning knob is easy to spin with one finger to bring in a nice narrow passband and the whole The loop covers 190 to 550 KHz, as advertised. It's compact and portable (about 14 inches in Thanks for a great product! Peter Lanting, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. |
Dear Paul I received the antenna on Friday and got all the gear installed over the weekend, and it's the best AM reception I've ever had in this house, brilliant! Regards, David M, Wanniassa ACT |
Dear Paul, just a note to let you know that the loop arrived safely on Wednesday 9 May and I am thrilled with it! I have used it with several portable radios and boom boxes; it works great with all of them! I use it during the daytime hours to listen to a station 100 km south of Seattle on 680 kHz that plays vintage jazz and swing music; it comes in clear as a bell, as strongly as a local station! At night, I clearly hear stations from all over the western U.S. and western Canada! If you need a testimonial, please feel free to use any of these remarks. Keith Beesley Seattle WA USA |
Thank you so much for the speed of your service and for the product which I gratefully received today. It has made such a difference to my radio enjoyment already. My friend was so impressed with your product she asked me to place an order which I have just completed. Thank you once again, John W, Mugee New South Wales |
Received the Loop and I am very very happy, I can hear Greek Radio on 1683KHz and all these Solomon Isle DX and NZ AM Stations like 1035KHz Regards, Blair Smith, Rockhampton Queensland |
| Dear Paul,
Just wanted to let you know I received the loops & am 1000% satisfied. I am particularly impressed with the AMBC loop. I am listening to WKBW from Buffalo NY over 800 miles on 1520. I am sure you get alot of raves but as a listener of 32 years, I am very happy to have finally found a usable loop that didn't cost me my first born ! 73 de Chris K4RAF, Chase City VA |
Dear Paul, the SW-to-MW converter is working well. I used it with my car radio and was able to listen to 2310 kHz from Alice Springs here in Melbourne! Great performance and well made. Thanks Dieter, VK3FFB Heathmont, Victoria |
