[Cliffdwellers] Low Profile Loop Antenna

[fwbray@mminternet.com]

I wonder if anyone out there is using a loop antenna at roof and/or eves 
level?  I have enough room for a full wave loop for 40 meters which would be 
at about 22 - 28 feet AGL.  It would run around the eves on the long sides of 
the house with the short sides lying on the top of the tile roof.  I would 
feed it with an SGC tuner mounted under the eves.  Fortunately, from an RF 
perspective, the builder seems to have omitted the metal flashing at the edge 
of the roof, so I would think this would reduce coupling problems.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has used this type of setup.  
Is it practical for DX or does it turn out to be too much of an NVIS antenna.

Thanks & 73.
