Many thanks. That confirms what I thought, except that I had expected
the antenna to be on the capacitive side of resonance on 30 metres. All
the figures indicate that my 142.7 ft loop is just a bit too long.


Well, I didn't know your wanted to see the results with a 142.7 ft loop.


I thought that that would be about the resonant length for a 7.05 MHz
full-wave closed loop (1005/7.05 = 142.55). What length were you using,
for your revised figures that took into account the presence of the
ground?


146.555 ft
