Thats very cool. So what wire did you use for the loop? looks like speaker twin flex or am I mistaken? How long did you have to make the 75 ohm coax to match a good swr?
Thanks, yes building antenna's is fun especially when they work well, putting theory into reality, engineering it out of every day object's. Seeing it work.😊.
Yes a lot quieter by far, and being its a full wavelength, it's got a bit of gain, and directivity. It would work better if😂it were away from the house and up high. But it's doing a good job even low down, 😊. Been experimenting with some of my CB radios with standard 4 watts FM and 10 to 12 Watts ssb, using legal UK frequcies, to prove you don't need huge amounts of power to get out. I can turn the antenna by hand, And can see the difference with the signal's on the meter, it's got directivity. Now i need to add a reflector 😊. Hope you are well and your family. Cheers Martin 😁👋😁.

Looking good... 💯👍

Nice looking antenna Martin. Is it quieter than a vertical?

Amazing what you can achieve with a bit of knowledge. 😎
