[Lowfer] What's your experience using a LoG antenna on LF

[Steve Ratzlaff]

I briefly tried a 200 foot circumference loop layed on my sandy desert 
wash, with the matching transformer feeding about 120 feet of coax back 
to the shack. Since LF is my primary listening area, I was curious to 
see how it would do. It was a total failure for me, all of my other 
antennas were much better. I didn't try a preamp. Maybe your experience, 
if you try one, will be much better than mine, please let us know!
