YOU are confused! Mike S has had this loop direction 90deg off (in his 
understanding) all the many years he's been a Lowfer! Now I'm beginning to 
understand why he could never seem to copy my signal on RX loops when he 
lived in Rochester NH 50 miles from here! It wasn't until I helped him set 
up an E-probe hanging from a tree that he could get a descent copy.

>If this is  an Ashlock Loop you are responsible for it's properties
>and it's direction of max radiation aren't you?

Of course! You understand, don't you, that HIS mistake is YOUR gain (db 
gain, that is). <G> Anyway, I'm pretty elated that we have one more loop 
running in the US.... regardless of the direction!
