Good discussions. No silver bullet.
I am trying to decide what to do when travling, often by bike and overseas.
My current strategy is close to half wave vertical. But shooting with a
slingshot takes time. A small fiberglass pole (2 .5 folded', 22' unfolded)
may help when trees are not around.
Loop at a opec multi ban vertical . I have oped for 1 for hf backpack
... and I just add a trailing ground radial.
you can set it up on a tripod also ...

Well said, Bill. I used to sign /QRP but stopped doing that routinely and
increased my CQ return rate. Nowadays I do not mention my attic doublet unless
the subject comes up. Why shoot myself in the foot...
I have nothing against small loops. I built a simple 40 meter STL from about 8
feet
I used to have a mag loop too. It is ideal when it can be transported in
nearly original condition, when no tuner is available, and when tall
structures are unavailable. With a loop, one can be in the air in seconds.
However, the loop weighs a couple of pounds and it needs to be adjusted very
Folks - We are exceeding the single list posting topic limit for the subjects on
loops and attic antennas. Let's close the thread at this time in the interest of

Hello,
I have built a 21' loop for 30 and 40m, which I use inside the house on
the second floor. No problem reaching Russia on 40m with 5W, CW...

I read the two posts about the MFJ loop antenna and thought I would
add my own personal comments on my experience’s with loops.
Years ago, I bought a MFJ 36” loop with the remote tuner and while it
worked from indoors from 30m to 10m, it wasn’t earth shaking. I

I wish to make a comment on the loop antenna situation from a different
angle. Pardon my being a novice to posting to this list. So here goes:
There are a lot of hams that face difficulties with putting up sizeable
antennas. Where does the remote operation of a K3 fit into this
situation? Is
Howdy to all,
I don't think anyone will question the fact that a good antenna system
is one of the most important factors in a ham station being able to
communicate efficiently particularly when using qrp power levels.
While I would agree that a full length dipole antenna, or beam antenna

Is anyone using a Pixel Technologies Loop antenna or the similar one from
England? Interested primarily for 160 meters with the K3 on receive. Would
be mounted on a 30 ft fiberglass flag pole next to the lake with a small
rotor. Please, any comments.

I also wonder how this antenna compares to a K9AY. It looks like it
might be a much more convenient alternative.
