Hi Dave, thanks for the post. Nothing like a discussion about simple antennas which work magically :-) Your sketch shows a short at the point where the 1' wide feedline connects to the loop (if I int

Dave Although the smaller antennas work I have found the signals are well down compared to the larger wire antennas. My 40 metre resonated loop on 500 Kcs is not as good as the 1/4 wave inv L, also I

Noticed same thing here, Paul with e-antennas, so tried this and it serves well from 17.2 kc. to 6 meters. Pulled down all the other wire antennas, no more ground radials or top load wires needed, pl
Hello Mal, LF In my case it is still snowing here, no way to keep the antenna tuned atm. Short high impedance antennas are tricky to keep happy. Just like me they prefer dry weather and clear skies :
