I use a closed loop of approximately the same size. It is corner fed with
coax (don't know the length...probably about 20-25 feet). A MFJ tuner is at the rig, and will match it all the way down to 80 meters. However, performance is very bad below 14 Mhz. ================================ A closed loop is only effective on wavelengths roughly equal or smaller than the circumference of the loop , so a 60ft equals 18.3 metres loop should work well on frequencies 16 MHz or about. For 14 MHz the loop would be best with a circumference of 21.5 metres (70 ft) or longer ,etc Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
