[Antennas] Loop Antennas

Mon, 04 Feb 2002 17:20:08 -0800

I think that there is a site by a Swedish ham that has some loops 
thereon.  I ran across it awhile ago, looked good but I am not that skilled 
to determine if good-enuff, so just passed on.

sorry, no more info, but try a search on loop antenna.
