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.... 1. http://www.radio-ware.com TY for making a good observation but in my case your "preaching to the choir".

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 below.... -- Charlie Ham Radio - AD5TH www.ad5th.com Unless the feedline loss equals the gain of the added height. Dan/W4NTI |
