Hello Martin, I have the MFJ 1786, which is the same antenna as the 1788 except that the range is 10-30m. The range of the 1788 is 15-40m. The loop is formed from heavy-walled aluminum tubing and is welded to the butterfly tuning capacitor to minimize losses. Mine has been out in the Colorado weather for about five years without any noticeable deterioration and the antenna works well. I have used it in both vertical and horizontal orientations with good success. I like the convenience of a single feed-line connection, with the tuning control signal superimposed on the coax, avoiding the need for a separate control line. The built-in cross-needle PWR/SWR meter is a nice touch, too. 73, Gus Hansen / KB0YH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
