All this chatter about the Kiwa Kiwa loop  is not doing anyone any favors
(Except maybe the seller). It will simply drive up the bidding and will
hurt serous buyers wanting to purchase the antenna. Anyone interested in a
high performance loop has already checked Ebay and knows about it.

The same thing happened to me a few months ago on an antenna tuner I wanted
to bid on. It was shown here on Hardcore DX and the bidding skyrocketed.
Sooner or later the same thing will happen to the Kiwa Loop

I recommend using the www.Gixen.com service for Ebay sniping. It's totally
free, unlike the commercial versions like Auctionsniper.

I've used Gixen for many years and have never had it fail on me. Their free
service is reported to be 99.5% reliable. They also offer an optional
"Gixen Mirror" service that provides that extra 0.5% confidence through an
additional mirrored server; it is only $6.00 per year. ​

​Nowhere in this auction is the all-important control box shown or
mentioned. Without the controller that powers and adjusts the antenna, it's
just a pricey paperweight.

​It's ​sad that the box is separated from the antenna or lost, as these
high performing loops rarely make an appearance on Ebay.
