[Antennas] DK9SQ LOOP Question

[wb8owx at fuse.net]

I could not find any clear pics of it, but it sounds like a Bi-square antenna...sold commercially also as the Superloop 40 by Radio Works I believe.  As I remember, it was important to keep the feedpoint up high as possible...good luck.. Tim  K8WBL
