I for one am in a quandary on what to get at dayton A buddipole, alex loop, or g4tph. Being a road warrior, need a good working interior (most times hotel rooms are not accessible to the outside) portable.

I should imagine that the insensitivity to electric fields in the near field would be an advantage in electrically noisy environments. Even a campsite can be very noisy with the inverters from RVs and the like spewing out rf everywhere. I'm spoilt for choice of antennas to play with once the KX3 arrives! 73 Stephen G4SJP On Wednesday, 9 May 2012, Fred Jensen wrote: > I haven't been following this thread closely but has anyone mentioned a > small magnetic loop like the Alex-Loop?
