Mike R,

Do it! Lyle sees us so we will see you! BTW, how come you don't report se=
eing us?

>Is Bill's 3/4" pipe loop still on the air and how is it working out???  =
That would be an option for me.

This is an experimental 25ft diam octaloop made from 3/4" pipe that was s=
upposed to be equivalent to a full sized #12 loop. The Rac was found to b=
e about 2X the predicted value (meaning a 3db loss in signal from predict=
ed) and it looks like I have proven that the Skin effect resistance of a =
conductor based on std math is not equal to the Rac of the loop, particul=
arly for smaller loops. The loop still hangs in the back yard and I need =
to get back to this. Funny how the cold weather effects the motivation! <=

 to the tests from damp ground.
