If I am TX'ing with WSPR I can walk around under all of the loop and a fluorescent tube at waist height will light quite brightly. Should the loop also radiate as well as the vertical section? Sorry for the probably naive question, I am not sure whether it's normal or not, thanks. -- Best regards, Chris mailto:chris@chriswilson.tv
