SDR-14 and PVC Loop. The loop was oriented to null out Lauzon in an attempt to get Alert Bay. But I notice that I need to re-tweak the loop orientation a degree or so every so often, to keep it nulled. I do not know if the loop is rotating on its own, or this is due to propagation. To null a station, you want the loop to be directly facing it, so the currents on the two vertical sides cancel out. Assuming a vertically polarized incident wave. And that the loop is only sensitive to the magnetic, and not electric, field. The loop is located in a partly wooded area (actually the bulk of the weight is supported by a rope that goes over a tree branch). The bottom of the loop is maybe 6 or 7 feet above the ground. So anyway, most likely during the night the loop was not perfectly nulling out Lauzon. Once we get into fall and winter, it will be dark here at reasonable times in the morning, and I can try some live DXing, trying to keep stations nulled.
I do not think Alert Bay is real, as the decodes are widely spaced, and too early:
