Warren I have not found that to be the case at this qth. Loops are not affected by trees because there is nothing being radiated to be affected whereas the big signals from verticals are affected to
Mal - are you saying small lambda loops are ineffective for dx working at LF, say 137Khz? (where within practical verticals give poorer performance in wooded areas....or arent feasible). Past results
Mal, On 137kHz loops here produce 1W ERP for each 400 Watts of transmitter output. I recall someone posting here from the U.K. that his vertical on 137 produced 700 mW ERP with 650 Watts transmitter
All Forget about loops, ground rod induction etc if you want to radiate a dx signal.The average person could shout and be heard further. A mechanical alert/fire siren can be heard several miles away
What kind of input power to the loop and vertical? Roger KL7Q I did testing several years ago with a 200' TX loop and a 45' vertical with a 72' flattop. The band was 1750 meters. The loop and the ver
Thanks Mike, I noticed after I sent my question that you were referring to Part 5 - Sorry for asking a stupid question. However, on another subject, do you feel the advantage to using a transmitting
Loops are not affected by trees because there is nothing being radiated to be affected .... ...better tell that to the loopers working across the Atlantic...what a goofy statement WEB - "The VE7SL Ra
Hi Roger, On 600m, I would not worry about using a vertical hanging in trees. On 1750m and 2200m, the vertical's signal will get eaten up by those trees. I am using a 70' inverted L vertical on 600m
I did testing several years ago with a 200' TX loop and a 45' vertical with a 72' flattop. The band was 1750 meters. The loop and the vertical were mounted in the woods with 70' plus oak trees. What
