Anybody have any idea how an 80m loop would work at 3m height?
We just moved into a new place with NO ANTENNA RESTRICTIONS, but I fell down
hard last summer (3 weeks unconscious in ICU) and am not tempted to get very
high again.
All this talk about on-ground and under-ground antennas made me

It would probably work adequately as an NVIS (near vertical incidence
something-or-other) antenna. In other words, you would have *very*
strong signals out to a couple of hundred miles on 40 meters, a little

Sorry to hear about your fall...sounds like it was a
nasty one. If it had to happen, I hope it was at

I guess that with enough power one can put any antenna underground
(GWEN) or even underwater (SUBCOMM) but let's not give my wife any
more ammunition!!
Has anyone here tried it?

Oh, yes. Work with subterranean antennas dates back to 1923, at least,
