All,
Re: Restoration of Damaged Rx Loop

The rx loop I made and had up for a mere few days then the big wind took it down is rebuilt, rewound and back on its mount.

Took a hint offered here and notched the end pieces of the spreaders. Yes, much easier to wind horizontal. After winding a bead of silcone gave added holding power that might be needed in wind.

It's ready for 600M now, taking less than 100pF to tune on spot.

Tonight's not very quiet and expecting weather to move in w/ rain. Hope Mike makes use of his big vertical for testing. I'll wait for his call and op mode.

Peter, N ILL
