<font size=-1>Hi to all,</font><font size=-1>i
have received by Crystalonics the CP666 High Performance FET for the AMRAD
E Field Antenna, so in this weekend i have realized it.</font><font size=-1>The
first impression is that i can't believe that with a 1 meters long whip
was possible listen from the DC to up 30 MHZ, an outstanding design!!!!!!</font><font size=-1>Compared
here with my big magnetic loop in 160/80/40 ( 4 meters dia.) is about the
same, a little better is the magloop for high angle, on higher band is
really better than my little magloop on the DX.</font><font size=-1>In
LF i can hear signal from 12 Khz, where i listen Omega and Alpha also signal
i think, in 136 this morning i have recorded I5TGC with DF6NM in dfcw,
with Amrad antenna DF6NM was T/O, with my ferrite antenna with fet pre
nothing!!</font><font size=-1>The 2 antenna are at about 8 meters high
on my roof at a distance one from the other about 10 meters, so for my
first impression is the antenna work very well, and the Crystalonics fet
is really very good, no presence of intermodulation at the output of the
pre with my EKD300 receiver, while with my IC738, there is some IMD on
160, the limiting factor is the receiver!!!!</font><font size=-1>So, i
agree at 100% with all the impression wrote by Derek Atter, G3GRO about
this antenna.</font><font size=-1>Again, the ferrite antenna is much vulnerable
