The Crate Loop looks like a great project and I'm going to start building one this weekend to use with a Sony ICF-SW7600GR (light, but not ultra-light) and perhaps with the Drake R8 (using a pick-up turn of wire). The only problem here is the computer hash (5 computers at this QTH).
The helically-wound vertical posted by Craig Healy may be the answer to the computer noise. The plan is to build a scaled-down version to go next to the computer in the shack as a noise sense antenna and attempt to phase out some of the hash. Thanks guys for the great ideas/designs and for posting them! 73.
