A Google Earth map is included showing the placement of the horizontal quad loop, it's fed right in the corner by the house. As you can see, the feedline is *right* by the house, and also at the lowest point of the loop. This is because the house is actually a bungalow! So very far from ideal. The 6 foot ground spike is about ten feet from the loading coil which normally lives in the green bin. That's the only ground at the moment, and again I should hopefully be able to improve this somewhat. The little FT240-43 cored matching transformer is tapped either one turn up from the earthy end or a slightly better match is found if I tap *AT* the earthy end, which seems odd to me. It gives this scan at the moment, and it's VERY peaky and a pain to set more accurately for resonance, plus it seems to wander about a bit with temperature. http://www.chriswilson.tv/17-10-2015.jpg Hope it's of interest. 73 from 2E0ILY > Congrats Genosse Chris! > Very great! > I'm very impression about results and you simple all-wave antenna! > I'm inform on russian forum about your antenna as we are agreed a year ago. > http://136.su/index.php/topic,268.0.html > 73! > Roman -- Best regards, Chris mailto:chris@chriswilson.tv
