[Lowfer] "State of the Art" Medfer Antenna

[Les Rayburn]

Eric,

It's crossed my mind, but I'm not certain that the physical location at 
my office will support an installation along those lines.

The "T" antenna was also a great performer on 160 Meters, and I have to 
assume that something similar would perform well on 1705 KHz.

How do the TX loops compare with verticals in terms of efficiency?

73,

Les Rayburn, N1LF
