Anyway I have worked some good DX e.g. on 30m and 17m with it. On 80m I have no problems hearing very distant stations, like Japan, but they cannot copy me. Obviously I need a vertical antenna for transmitting outside europe...however, the loop is excellent for listening.oh3ggqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590562918564177184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060885526021532808.post-32196356553953648142012-01-10T09:33:27.088+02:002012-01-10T09:33:27.088+02:00Interesting!

I have had quite good experiences also on 10m...at least compared to my 10m dipole. At least the loop listens much better than the dipole.oh3ggqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590562918564177184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060885526021532808.post-33566196736029886782011-12-16T15:40:18.433+02:002011-12-16T15:40:18.433+02:00Hello Karhu, just dicovered your blog.

Very good for NVIS operation but on the higher bands suitable for DX. The only bands that it not peform well are 160m and 10m. I feed it with 450Ohm ladderline and use the 1:4 balun in my palstar tuner. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060885526021532808.post-70524259532848792672011-11-20T21:02:33.347+02:002011-11-20T21:02:33.347+02:00Also KL7JR loves his 80m "all band" loop...Also KL7JR loves his 80m "all band" loop, though it is horizontal: http://www.hamuniverse.com/kl7jr80loop.htmloh3ggqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590562918564177184noreply@blogger.com
