With the K9AY, even with one loop you've got the ability to switch between two directions at the flick of a switch, with a two loop K9AY you've got all four points of the compass covered. I've used a K9AY on the NDB bands and down to VLF and it's a great little performer, have a look at, http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx/antenna/loop/k9ay/ 73s Tracey tracey.gardner@ntlworld.com Lincolnshire U.K. >Has anyone used either the flag or the pennant antenna on the lowfe bands?
