I guess we're all idiots for using loops. It was even windy when Steve
captured my 1-watt signal in Arizona 1302 miles away the other night.

John,
Don't assume this guy takes note of anyone else's accomplishments! <G>

The only loop worth while is a full wave loop at the frequency of
operation,
the smaller you get in relation to natural resonance the less the capture
ability and more critical the tuning, and going off resonance with the
slightest movement by wind, rain etc, so it is seldom optimum at the
required frequency except you happen to live in Dixie or Texas where the
sun
always shines!!
Well, I guess I'll give up the LF stuff, as I'll never hear anything. Thanks
for setting me straight. It looked like an interesting hobby.
