Don't know seems about right to me

Notice that he does not feed the Loop :
At a Corner or in the
Middle of the Side :
Sort of Off-Set... like a Windom


- - Getting the Wire Up 40 Feet in the Air at all 4
- - Corners would be a challenge for most SWLs.

- There's your "bull****" part right there.

Dave more than just "N1SU" cite using a 160 Meter
Band Full Wave Loop Antenna of 574 Feet Rigged
at a Height of 40 Feet.

1005 / 1.750 = 574 Feet
1/4th Wave Length = 144 Feet High
1/8th Wave Length = 72 Feet High
-and- 1/10th Wave Length = 57 Feet
-so- 40 Feet High would be 1/10th WL for NVIS Operation
