[Elecraft] 80 Meter loop question

[Myron Schaffer]

Clay,

I can run an EZNEC model for you if you give me some more info about the loop. You said about 45 feet high and assume square. Did you want to feed it in the middle of one side or at the corner? I will model above average ground conductivity just to keep all my analyses consistent.

I can then put the results in SimSmith and spit out all the data you'll need, complete with any transmission line and length and complex impedance including efficiency across the whole HF frequency band.
