[Lowfer] "A" for Andover

Hi Charlie, Lowfers,

I have a 333 foot perimeter delta loop for receiving on 500 kHz.
Apex is up and the horizontal bottom run is about eight feet high.
I feed it at one of the bottom corners with two coupling methods.
At the moment, it's configured with a broadband binocular xfmr
to couple it to the feedline, as I do some NDB listening as well
as the Lowfer stuff.  I have an alternate matching box for it that
has a series tuning capacitor and a toroid coupling transformer.
That setup is a sort-of  "Ashlock Loop" and it works great for
me when I want to listen specifically for Lowfer activity.
