Here's what happens : the moment I plug it into the FT100 ( both wires,
not only the central conductor ) I get silent background ( low level
noise ) as if it had no antenna at all. An uneducated guess of mine
would be that maybe the feeder shorts *before* the coupling loop.

Hi Adrian,

Your pictures are quite good. However, with 25M of feeder how do you
tune up?
