Hi,

Some probably dumb questions, but am a bit of a beginner with all of this.

Will be putting up an otside sloper or inverted L.

Receiving only.

a. If I run the antenna wire thru a closed metal loop for fastening
purposes, do I run into any effets from having a
"shorted turn" over the active antenna wire (receiving only) ?

b. Any problem if I coil up a bit of the excess wire, perhaps a foot or
two, into a 6" loop at the end ?
Guess I'm asking about it becoming an added inductor due to the coil.

Thanks,
B.
