Please describe {tell us more about} this new Loop Antenna.


iwtk ~ RHF
.


99 feet of THHN 14g stranded wire, LDG 4:1 Balun. 10-12 ft. in the air.


Awesome!


It's theoretically a circle with a diameter of 99/3.1416 feet, which
fits in the part of the back yard you can't see from the patio
(important to some). It doesn't seem to mind being around other wire
antennas too much. I'm going to start building one twice as big for the
roof; I don't think I'll use red 14g wire this time.
