[Lowfer] t - poor up in AK - Dst only improving slowly - Trees

[Neil Klagge]

Hi Laurence,
I am impressed by the performance of ur loop over ur T vertical. From what
I have read from other guys, the loop is not dependent on a ground field
system. Is that right ?

JB McCreath (MP) says his loop remains in tune rain or shine and the swr
seems very stable. I guess he hardly ever has to re-tune it.

Thanks for the info...very cool.
73, Neil
