[Elecraft] OT: Long loop antennas

[Sverre Holm]

I am very happy with my 75 m horizontal loop. It is my first and only
antenna, which I chose after having read as much as I could about
different wire antennas. My constraints were: no tower, and since I was
a new ham I wanted to try all most of the HF bands. In addition I have a
property with many trees. Two years after I got licensed, the K2 at 5
Watts and the loop gave me QRP DXCC. Some more references:

The middle one is, I think, the ARRL article:
> There is a good article, "The Loop Skywire" about horizontal 
> loops on the ARRL web site. 

Analysis of the loop is here:
