Hi All,

There is a lot of discussion at the moment on LF & LW regarding antenna
tuning & loading etc, I have a related question.

Would there be any noticeable improvement to the performance my 14 metre
vertical antenna if I replace my normally wound LF loading coils with basket
weave coils?

My back garden is so small I cannot run any substantial capacitive top load
so I need to improve the antenna system in any way I can.
