Got to love a man like that. I cut my neighbor’s front yard next to the road. It’s a steep bank and he is not really happy about getting on it with a mower. I never mentioned getting paid so when I ask about running beverage antennas through his wooded area he said sure thing. Don’t forget to send your neighbor a nice ham for Christmas or his birthday. Great video!

Silvercreek ara, can I ask a question: 1005/F could you advise how you came up with this formula. The normal rule is 468X2 half wave to =936/F full wave? and the velocity factor?

Wonderful video...! ! Do you folks have details on that antenna ? Have been reading about them and would like to build my own. 73 de W3HLS {formally KB1YNU}

A 40 meter loop also works as as a top-loaded vertical on 160, if you short the feeders and work the resultant antenna against a radial field.

My loop is 530ft at 80ft . I also have a 3 element 20 yagi at 40ft on a tower. The yagi Manuel states it has 6.5 dbd of gain on 20m. A side by side comparison on transmit and receive between the loop and yagi are almost identical on my IC 7610. Sooooo would you imagine that the gain would increase higher up the bands as the wave lengths get bigger and bigger 17m, 15m, 10m?? I wonder if the loop has a little gain on 40m? As for the lobes that are created as the wave length gets bigger I have not found a signal with my yagi that I couldn't hear or talk to with the loop.

Great to have nice neighbors. Mine is square shaped and fed in corner. Opposite of the feed point is a large lobe so there is gain in a direction.

Impressive ! Nice work, all….,

Assuming you are interested in gain opposite of your feedpoint you could add the 60ft by going up and down 30ft one time, or up and down 15ft twice either side of your feedpoint. I imagine this could be considered loading the antenna.

Excellent presentation.

This Antenna sounds / looks definitly interesting to me. I will temporary use it as a portable antenna 40-50ft. high up the Ground that one man army is able to handle it alone to install and tearing down again when going qrt. If this ting makes me happy portable I will figure / work something out to have this Antenna as my current base antenna. Ok guys, I am getting downstairs to my basement work bench to start building...thx for sharing this documentary with us. 73's de your friend Uncle Guenter from SW-Germany
