In the days of round aircraft engines and wire HF/MF antennas, you could depend on a 2-3" arc from either wire against A/C ground while flying through heavy weather... Expensive VanDegraf generator..
You can use a simple vertical LOOP made from one piece of HEAVY, well insulated wire and one vacuum variable capacitor... Advantages: No need of many wires dug into the ground to lose power No hoisti
Turn up the wick, you are making faint lines... Dear LF Group, Have just had a 500kHz QSO with GB4FPR, who is peaking at about 569, but fading to nothing in the QSB, which is troublesome as usual at
Not to mention the 3 mile Beverage antenna starting at the beach from 052 deg. true and coming right by the house... Guess I got lucky on that one... Also not putting half of my power into the ground

I cannot understand why a ham would use a Marconi loaded vertical or a dipole... Too much work... Yes, the LOOP is always more quiet than a wire terminated in space that picks up electrostatics in th
Mel, Any net call ups on 502 - 7033 broadcast mode?? Picture us here in the new world on a ship and can only get back on 7mc. hf... Give us a break, will ya... -- Original Message -- From: g3kevmal@t
