[Elecraft] Portable Antennas (near end fed)

[Stephen Prior]

Hi Fred

I have been very tempted by the Alex-loop, but in the meantime have just
bought one of G4TPH's loops which I shall put through its paces when the
weather improves!  I should imagine that the insensitivity to electric
fields in the near field would be an advantage in electrically noisy
environments. Even a campsite can be very noisy with the inverters from RVs
and the like spewing out rf everywhere.

I'm spoilt for choice of antennas to play with once the KX3 arrives!
