[Elecraft] Establishing A New Station..

[Walter Underwood]

Mag loops need retuned when you move a few kHz. If most of your operating is parking in a CW or digital sub-band and working that, a map loop should be great. Probably not quite as much fun for search and pounce.

I don't like the idea of dropping a wire from the balcony. The wind could cause trouble. Im thinking of a loop. I've had good luck with them. Any thoughts?
