LF: Re: W1VLF 8.97 KHz UPDATE Trees, Questions, Ground

Most people thought a TX loop would not radiate out of a backyard. That 
was proven very wrong many years ago. The calculations say a TX loop is 
a terrible antenna, but it does radiate very well. Might it work on the 
9kc band? Maybe. Dex W4DEX used a TX loop for his VLF experiment many 
years ago on 7 or 8kc with very low power. He covered 10km I believe. 
One never will know until someone builds a proper 9kc TX loop and tests 
it. Might be a big surprise, might not. We know it will absolutely 
require a low loss conductor, low loss series resonating caps, and the 
proper matching transformer.
