Bill,

Definately send the article.  I would appreciate it.  Would this antenna be
used for receiving as well?

BTW... how are call letters assigned (e.g. LEK)?  Did not know if this is a
standard or something that you assign yourself...

Thanks again!!

The textbooks are full of this negative TX loop-speak. I  Began using TX
loops on 185k four years ago and was so impressed by the performance that I
have spent a huge percentage of my free hours promoting their use -
particularly for most of us, having less than an ideal backyard environment
for a good vertical. Finally, this year it looks like the number of active
Lowfers in the US using TX loops could outnumber those with verticals!

If you would like, I'll send you my first TX loop construction article and
put your name on the list for the follow-up. TX loops are very easy to
install, easy to maintain, hold up under extreme weather.......... and
really perform!
