Default antenna theory made easy


In my last post I referred to a magloop article by Nitin William, VU3GAO.
It was the first magloop I encountered which would handle 80M.
I should have mentioned another article by Peter Parker VK3YE who has a
similar loop but it covers 160 thru 15 meters. I expect it will be very
good on the higher bands, and with a 'little' padding should take me down
to 80M for some of the local nets.

From all the reading I have done, the Magnetic Loop Antenna seems to be
a good performer, and ideally suited to locations where large or long
antennas
are out of the question.
