You funny man there Bill... What is the output power limit to run Part-15 on

Lewis,

Would it do any good to go say 100 or 200 ft horiz.?

You're darn toot'n it would! Rule #1 states the loop area is nearly
everything. I think that you might find a practical limit somewhere in the
500ft wide by 50ft tall range, but I'm not sure. Will let you know as soon
as I overcome a certain obstacle to future large-scale looping -the code
exam. After this I just might run some experiments at <10uw, input power to
see how close to theory the wide loop performs.

God bless loops!
