[50mhz] Antennas

[ke5apj]

I use an M2 HO Loop for field applications & am quite satisfied with the 
performance on my mobile operation so far..

The modeling of the M2 HO Loop suggests a wide do-nut pattern from center (I 
assume at 30 ft. elevation). Use on a mobile field operation (Such as field 
day.), IIRC there is antenna modelling for the entire series of HO Loops 
available (Results of such come with the antenna)..
