[Antennas] 160mtrs on small lot

Mon May 16 17:36:36 EDT 2005

Better read the articles. I am talking TRANSMITTING loops here. One that
covers 160 and 80 is about 15ft diameter. The biggest issue is the high
voltages at the feed point. 100W is not too much of a problem. But legal
limit requires big vacuum variables or home made tuning capacitors. They
also need to be remotely controlled because of the narrow bandwidth
involved. But for its size, there is nothing more efficient IMHO.

Great for reception.....not usable for transmitting though..
