My homebrew 3 foot dia Magloop works very well vertically mounted 3 foot off
the ground but i`m wondering if maybe it could do a little better in the low
angle radiation department ....i seem to hear stations within 1000miles
consistently strongest.....VKs and stateside etc much lower !!!.....

The loop is mounted on a rotator above a groundmat buried about 6 inches
beneath the lawn and consists of 30 radials each about 30 foot long and the
loop is mounted in the centre, is that ok, or should i work the loop higher
than 3 feet above the mat, or remove the ground mat and work just with
medium loam soil underneath instead??........

Thanks to Cecil and others for help and advice in building the loop, it
tunes 40 thro` 15 meters......
