Laurence,
Rain doesn't bother the tuning on a TX loop like it does on a
vertical.
Only wind will make the tuning move around but still not too bad.
Nice
to hear another fellow looper. Try #8 THHN wire for your loop as it
will
increase the current quite a bit over #14 wire. Still with 5a of
loop
current, you should get a signal all over NA. I ran .7a of loop
current
and could get over 1000 miles with QRSS-30 on a #12 loop.
