[Lowfer] Lowfer antenna on 75-meters???

Sun, 8 Sep 2002 10:50:32 -0500

I am going to setup my Loop Tuner Box so that I can relay switch out the LF
tuning components and have it available direct to the feedline for HF. It
works very well after the first 100 miles even with all the LF tuning
components in there. I have never used a loop on HF before. It is also
noticeably quieter on receive as far as static goes.

        I kind of suspected that after reading a bit more of the replies.
Seems to me that a "big" (at 75 meters) loop like that should do very
well if it were matched right.
