Loop antenna to multiple receivers
« on: August 05, 2017, 08:34:00 pm »
Hiya

I have a Wellbrook ALA1530 active loop antenna that I want to connect to a number of shortwave receivers simultaneously.

What is the best method of doing this?  Do I need to build a distribution amplifier, or would a simple splitter be effective? What is the best way of isolating the receivers from each other?

The receivers would be commercial and homebrew.

Cheers

A splitter would be the best way. Despite losing several dBs, the Wellbrook amplifier would make up for that loss.
