"RHF" wrote in message oups.com... SED, 1. These are "Receive Only" Horizontal Loop Antennas for Shortwave Listeners. Doesn't matter. The charecteristis of the lobes are the same for transmit as well as for receive. 2. These are Horizontal Loop Antennas that are by the "Restrictions" of Shortwave Listeners must be located in the Attic Area under the Roof and in the House. I know, I use one myself for TX & RCV. 3. They are made with TV type Parts that are easy to find and their ease of assembly for all - especially the non-technical. My loop is even simpler than the one you describe. Antenna Building (Life) is Full of Compromises [.] But this design is based on voodoo. KISAP - keep it simple and practical - iane ~ RHF take a single piece of wire and run it in a single loop horizontally on the perimeter of your roof - forget the attic and all that fiberglass insulation. Join the ends to either coax (use a balun if you wish) or use ladder line and run it a cheap antenna tuner (MFJ). What can be more simpler than that? |
