[Lowfer] Antenna observations at " XR "

[Mike.WE0H]

No doubt? A TX loop thru the house? Guess that makes a whole new meaning 
to a Loop Tuner Box...This is an interesting discussion of compromise 
antennas that are optimized to radiate a decent signal. Maybe I need to 
re-address my 1750m antenna in the trees and see if I can get it to 
radiate something? Cover the damn tree with rebar & concrete? hi hi

If this is the case you are exceeding the  Pt 15 limit for antenna 
"length" because you must take,

according to the 'experts', the sum total of all the rebar lengths to 
calculate the actual length :)

Seriously, at least you could do an analysis of what you are doing for a 
Lowdown article - as others

are concrete apartment-bound in large cities. If you do this I will 
promise to write up an article

describing a TX loop that circles my house and continues though one 
basement window and out the other :)
