[Lowfer] Sea Water Loop Antenna

[Bill Ashlock]

Mike,

You and some others with memories of 'the good old days' may recall my experimental Litz TX loop antenna where I used a garden hose stuffed with multiple runs of #12 equi Litz to form a std 200ft Ashlock loop having some fairly good efficiency? Now it looks like I should have simply filled the hose with salt water once it was pulled over the trees and saved quite a bit of money :)
