Hi Dan and you make a valid point about feedline loss. I am feeding M2 HO
LOOP with 65 ft of 9914F low loss coax which incidentally enough is a
"direct bury" coax. I use a 35 ft run of 9914F for my Ringo Ranger II. I
have a 50 ft run of the same 9914F direct buried feeding my Hustler 5-BTV
vertical. At HF frequencies especially with 9914F there is virtually no loss
at 50ft.

Link for 9914F coax, jumpers and assemblies and coax loss tables. The 9914F
is within .1 db of 9913 loss figures but is more flexible and can be buried
directly into mother earth....

TY for making a good observation but in my case your "preaching to the
choir". Hi Hi

Raised my M2 Horizontal Loop antenna from 20ft above ground to 45ft above
ground and picked up a full S-unit (s7 to s8) at a receiving station 70
miles away. Mode was SSB and frequency was 144.200 mhz. Also my receiving
ability was enhanced dramatically....

The HIGHER the BETTER !!!!

Photos and tech info on the M2 HO Loop antenna at the site listed

Unless the feedline loss equals the gain of the added height.
