Default Loop nuts?

If any of you loop nuts are interested, there is a Drake AL-4 loop
advertised (ebay) in the Boat anchor group.

It's nice of you to let folks know, but that antenna was never anything to
write home about. The only reason that it worked halfway decent on the SPR-4
receiver was because of the bipolar transistor loop amplifier. It might have
some collector value, but probably only for a person that has that specific
receiver. I took one of them apart several years ago, and it was nothing but
a loop that was constructed of something similar to RG-174 coax cable, with
a break in the shield at the top.

I didn't think it looked impressive but haven't been overly impressed with
any loops that I have tried except my DA5. I have only tried the RS loop and
a few quickly thrown together home made ones besides the DA-5. I have
collected the parts to assemble the AMRAD active antenna but have not found
the time to start putting it together, too many "honey do's".
