I just picked up a used DK9SQ LOOP and noted to my surprise its feed point
is to one of the horizontal corners (square loop rotated 90 degrees). Looking
at a rough EZNEC DEMO model it appears that if bottom or top fed, the gain is
almost double this arrangement. Does anyone have any operating experiences
with this antenna?
I am sure the designer has arrived at this configuration based upon good
principles, however...
------------------------------
For those who are unfamiliar with this antenna it is basically a diamond
shape 10m loop installed on a 33ft mast. On 20 and 15m it is a closed loop and
on 40 and 10m the loop is opened opposite the feed point
