Speaking of which, I just got an ah-4 that I'm planning to connect to a
80m horizontal loop. I've been told this will work well with one end of
the loop connected to the antenna connector and the other end of the loop
connected to the ground connector. Is anyone else running this setup, or
have an opinion of it?
