Bill,
Unfortunately there are no 'magic' lengths for your loop. Something in the neighborhood of 520 feet should work well on 160 meters, 250 - 260 feet for 80 meters. The limiting factor is the 'MatchBox', it doesn't have the impedance tuning range other tuners have because of the small number of inductance taps it uses. (It's 'big brother' has the same limitations, by the way.) The 'MatchBox' being a real 'balanced' tuner is nice, but just not that big'a deal for all practical purposes. In general (meaning that there are always exceptions) the largest loop you can get into the air is the way to go, if you cn 'match' it... 'Doc |
