Alex/Stefan et al,

If I understand Alex correctly he is using a series of well engineered semi-loops with 3 sides elevated low loss loop (15mm diameter aluminium) and one side earth electrodes. Results certainly confirm that it works well. 

In my case I managed 250km on 136kHz WSPR with just 10-12W from the PA (low uWs ERP) with just the earth electrodes and virtually no loop in the air at all. I am CONVINCED that the structure Alex is now using is worth more investigation as he has clearly demonstrated how effective it can be.

Stefan,

I have 2 ants now: WsLoop and EsLoop
WsLoop - Western direction sLoop - North-West(N-W EU-W-VE) and to South-East(VU-VK6/5/7-ZL4) lobes (some photos of WsLoop is on
http://136.73.ru  (click "sLoop by R7NT" icon)

EsLoop - Eastern direction sLoop - North-East(UA9/0-JA-VK4-ZL1) and to South-West(SV-W.Africa-LU) lobes (some photos of my new sLoop is on http://136.su/forum/index.php/topic,149.msg7745.html#msg7745

Height above ground are 8-18m and far point of EsLoop is abt 22m
I believe sLoop is semi-Loop or semi-earth Loop :-) 

SS>Can i ask what is the power? :-)

Russian power's limitation on LF is 100w Output now :-(
... but soon the Russian authorities of communication will allow  1W ERP - I'm pretested here
I have now abt 200w Output in W/EsLoop - currents in ant are 2.6A(W) and 3.6A(E)

I'm using since March 2013 Class D audio PA on 136
