This is the first run on "Loop II," which turned out to be 75 feet high and 166 feet long. Initial calculations show an 8-9 dB improvement over the previous antenna, and it should be about on a par with Warren's (WD2XGJ) loop. Many thanks to Bill Ashlock and his bow for launching the thing. Details and pictures will be on the web site later this week. All reports are welcome.
