[Lowfer] 1st capture of "WE"...

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 11:56:51 -0500

The wire is Home Depot black #12 solid. I don't have a clue on the current
yet as Bill needs to calibrate my current probe. I just peaked the Loop
Tuner box for max current and tweaked the transformer a bit in the turn's
ratio department. I followed the loop master's advice on the antenna and
tuner and it works. The bottom run of the loop is at 6' now and the ground
is soggy sand with a 3000 foot plus ground radial system running all over
the yard under the loop and everything else around here. There is a 6' high
by 12' long chain link dog kennel at the south end of the loop and is within
2 feet of the loop wire. The transmitter is a combination Ashlock/LEK design
running 1w input.

Mike

What are you using for a conductor and how much antenna current are you
seeing?
