Cecil,

I think by a loop he meant something like a Halo. They seem to be pretty
common with beacons. You could stack two of these vertically for gain, but
at 6m the spacing gets kind of long. My concern would be that the thing
still works when the matching element gets iced over.

Bill: Talk to tyhe people at M Squared.

A vertical 6m loop wouldn't be omnidirectional and a horizontal
6m loop would send most of your power up at a take-off-angle of
60 degrees. How about a vertical folded monopole with a good
ground plane?
