The majority of information has been sent directly to me but could be useful to others if the information was directed to all, and those with sufficient space around their QTH might learn something. The loops being discussed are at least 40 ft x 40ft and up to 200 ft plus. I have not been impressed with signals from loops around the UK and EU but with large loops the position could be different. Some distances covered with 1w to the antenna are remarkable and think of the potential with kilowatts that some are using in the UK from the Decca Jeeps to one of these loops. 73 de Mal/G3KEV
