Mike: Great job with WM....he and I started using those loops many years ago...at the beginning...‎and I still have my 137 khz- 340 foot loop in place. Curious about your 630 meter Ashlock. What is size? And are you using the series tuning and through the toroid for coupling to the feed?   Wondering if I could connect them in parallel, and what might happen.
Congratulations on your work.

Andy,

Thanks for asking the question. I found the answers very good too. So 
good that I modified the WM Lowfer feed to match JB's description of 
EAR, and I think it made a read difference over what I had.

FYI, I have been testing an Ashlock Loop design on 630m. If you have a 
moment call up the wsprnet map with my callsign and check out last 
nights coverage. No ground plane / No loading coils / No worries about 
50Ft. rules!!
