Nice reduce noise Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very easy order taking, fast delivery and very easy assembly of the RX loop.
I am very impressed by the noise suppression and the directivity of this antenna.
160 / 80m very efficient
40m efficient
30m can help !!
The bottom of the antenna is 1m from the ground mounted with a small rotor.
I highly recommend Vertical Array, thank you claudio and faber!

Small place, low noise and good for low band dx-ing :) Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Antenna assembled and mounted. The directionality of the antenna is very strong. Side damping as high level. F/B ratio also is high. Literally strong side stations received on the dipole on this antenna disappear. I recommend it to someone who has little space and who lives in a place where there are big disturbances. Thanks to this antenna I made a lot of interesting qso where it would not be possible to do dipole antennas. My antenna is only mounted 3m above the ground and is working fine but I'm going to mount it 12m above the ground then it will be even better. Testing other antennas with different results, this antenna has always been better. 73

Top band, reduce noise and listen signals Time Owned: more than 12 months.
The publication on eham.net of this space dedicated to the loop built by Vertical-Array led me to write a dedicated review after I mentioned this loop in the review concerning the vertical of the same brand, see Vertical-Array 80-160 L.
I confess a certain initial skepticism in its use because, not having sufficient experience in the Top Band, I was convinced that the enormous difference in size between the antenna and the frequency dimension (80 and 160m) could be a limitation in term of performance. I had not considered the possibility of further breaking down the QRN level (atmospheric noise and electric noise, which occurs more and more in our urban areas crowded with electronic devices) which is one of the great prerogatives of this antenna.
Mind you, it is not comparable to antennas hundreds of meters long like beverages but for OM like me who live either in small city lots or in apartments represents a real receiving help. The construction is really robust, which are the characteristics of all Vertical-Array products and have brilliantly overcome the severe weather conditions that occurred in the Mediterranean Sea in the last years with winds that reached even 100 Km per hour. Also the positioning of the antenna, respect to the other antenna systems (towers) is not particularly critical and when I have a more strong mast in my tower, I would like to try to move it to the top of the mast. An answer for those who want to work in top-bands without having tens of hectares of land available
