[600MRG] Loop on ground ??

[Gedas]

I had one last year and liked it very much. I do not recall off the top 
of my head the dimensions but using NEC4 I found a length that provided 
darn near a perfect 50-ohm impedance and thus I direct fed it with some 
RG-223. If I find my paper work I will re-post.

It was a very good performer and recommend everyone to try one out if 
you can. Oh, I do remember that there was a significant difference 
between what my normal EZNEC (NEC2 based) vs EZNEC (NEC4 based) programs 
indicated for feedpoint Z. I had mine in a square shape, laid flat on 
"clayish" dirt and around 100' circumference (don't hold me to the 100').

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
