You will be surprised as to how many stations you can still work if they have a decent receiver and antenna on their end. This way you won't have to use any Wahoo sized components in your matching box. I think that I can safely say that we are all waiting patiently to hear your results with a decent sized loop like you put up. 73's es gud luk, Mike>WE0H http://www.geocities.com/we0h/index.html -----Original Message----- From: majordom@post.thorcom.com [mailto:majordom@post.thorcom.com]On Behalf Of James Moritz Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 10:22 AM To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Subject: Re: LF: loops Dear Mal, LF group Transmitting... -But you could try some QRP tests without going to all the trouble of the full power version. If you really do not want to transmit at all, measuring the impedance (particularly the resistive component) of the tuned loop with a bridge would be a very interesting result, especially if it was done at several different frequencies.
