I use a 1.8m square 2-turn loop "stealth" RX antenna at my alternate QTH in Devon. It is series tuned with a 1.8 nF capacitor, and it receives very well. The bottom leg is very near the ground, and I am considering lying it on its side to get omni-directional reception (= "LOG"?) ;-) The ground conductivity is very poor, so it might well work. BTW, RST 559 copy of GM4SLV on Wednesday evening, during the tests with Finbar. Best signal yet, some QSB, no QRN. 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM -----Original Message----- From: owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org [mailto:owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org]On Behalf Of Roelof Bakker Sent: 07 September 2007 15:07 To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Subject: Re: LF: BOG - Beverage on the Ground * Slinky ? Hello Warren, My guess is that an EWE should also be a likely candidate for 500 kHz reception. Roelof Bakker, pa0rdt
