From Dave G3YMC As one of those 'friends' perhaps I should comment! Mal will presumably expect his large 'normal' antenna to outperform a loop at the same location unless it is very large, as he has
The loop has to be at least 13m to 15m vertically and at least 762sq meter total area or bigger to work decent. If you go with a loop of 15m vertical or greater and make the horizontal part more like
Hi Mal, When you say the loop doesn't pick up the low angle DX signals, are you using a horizontal or vertical loop??? I am not using any loop antennas at present but intend to make a vertical loop
Hi Mal, When you say the loop doesn't pick up the low angle DX signals, are you using a horizontal or vertical loop??? Bill Ashlock on the east coast of the US is using vertical loops on 1750-meters
