Hi Daniel, If you do put up a loop, consider feeding it from the side, you may pick up a bit more vertical polarization and a slightly lower angle on some bands.
Depending on the layout, you might consider an inverted L using the potted plant to support the vertical part of the antenna. You could also use a fishing pole (they can be found up to 20' long) as a temporary support. To the folks with the verticals near the ocean, check out the Force12 page and, I think, it was the 6Y5A contest group. They did an interesting study of vertical performance based on location related to the edge of salt water (or over it). cheers, Julius n2wn _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
