[600MRG] Loop on ground ??

[Gedas]

This is what makes our hobby so interesting. Can't dispute what others 
may have observed using various loops but for my location, which is 
rural farm land I found my loop on the ground to provide a higher S/N of 
weak signals the majority of the time. My lot is about 1200' long so my 
loop was about 700' away from the nearest power poles. I liked it better 
then my 600' dipole and short E-Field probe antenna. For me it was a 
good performer, YMMV.
