I’ve been using the AziLoop system for almost a year now, and the antenna has proven itself to be excellent in terms of its versatility and reception performance. The small server runs 24/7, uses very little power and is always accessible online via the network; the timer switches the antenna on in the evening, tuning in to Asia first and then South America later in the evening. Early in the morning, the system switches off completely and grounds the antenna. My perfect partner for reception on mediumwave and on 160 metres.
The way the system times its shift from Asia to South America really captures the rhythm of long-distance listening—almost like a radio gardener following the sun. Makes me

The timed switching between Asia and South America is a clever touch—adjusting reception to the propagation windows for each region must make a real difference on 160 metres. My own setup lacks that automation, and I find myself wishing for it on nights when the bands shift faster than I can manually retune.

The timed switching between Asia and South America captures exactly how propagation shifts on 160 metres—I’ve found that manually changing antennas always misses that sweet spot. Making it automatic with a grounded shutdown sounds like a game-changer for overnight DX.
