My thoughts as well

Turns out I must have been interested in loops for some time
 ( emulation is the highest term of praise ) HAR . I cut N saved a lot
of articles from Ham Radio QST et all. I hope someday we get 136 and
folks do propagation tests between 185 and 136. I suspect there would be
some interesting differences with the same ERP from the same locations

Someday
