Hi Dave, You're absolutely right about experimenting. If hams hadn't done that in the past we wouldn't have discovered the propagaton possibilities on HF (when we were banned above 100m in the 20's),
To All from PA0SE The radiation resistance of a multiturn loop is : Rs = 31200 x (n x F / L^2)^2 where Rs = radiation resistance, n = number of turns, F = loop area, L = wavelength. For my loadingcoi

Hello Lech and all. On a commercial transmitting site there are reasons for caging the loading coil but it does not include enhanching the rf intensitity of the radiated signal, in fact the opposite.
