It's *possible* to construct an STL (small transmitting loop) with fairly good efficiency. But *NOT* one for 160 meters that fits inside a house! :-)
I have a web page about STLs with lots of linked pages at www.w0btu.com/magnetic_loops.html Take particular note of the first two links there to Owen Duffy's site and what he has to say. No telling what problems an indoor STL could cause. It could couple to the AC wiring and damage connected appliances. In the late 1970s a dipole in our apartment caused some interesting effects! Incandescent lamps lit up dimly, even though the wall switch was off. We could hear a loud hum from a neighbor's stereo through the floor when we transmitted. And our Heathkit digital clock went bonkers. Enough said. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
