Bob,

Works great!

If you say so........

This experiment is supposed to show that the ground loss falls off to near 0 
when the loop is elevated to heights close to the loop diameter. The Rac for 
the loop, without ground loss, calculates to .05 ohm and should be 
comparable, signal wise, to a 50'x50' loop with #12 wire. I wasn't even 
thinking about the rotatable aspect!
