Size of horizontal loop?
Now, if you want to use the antenna with a tuner at the feedpoint or
perhaps open wire feed, the impedance of the 100 foot side loop on 160m
is much more reasonable (64-j1300) than the 70 foot per side loop
(EZNEC reports 8000-j30000! that is to say, infinite :-) )
Dan,
I believe the original poster DID indicate he would feed the loop with
600ohm line and a balanced tuner.
Could you also run the Z figures for my plan of using a loop of 300
feet of wire on 160? ( 1.9000 MHz ) ... my height will be close to 50
feet, btw.
Tnx,
Ed K7AAT
