You might also consider the helically loaded loops that K8NDS has been developing. The 80M loop of about 72" works up to maybe 17M. I'm in the process of gathering the materials to try a 20-10M HL lo

It doesn't look to me like any of the Pixel products are for amateur use, not for transmitting anyway. Am I missing a product from their website? 73 d W6OGC Jim Allen ________________________________

Let me add to what Ric has said, that there are very high voltages and currents developed in these small loops, 5000 v or more even at 100 watts. According to one calculator, a 5' diameter loop at 40

The 706 on a dummy load and the Omni VI "hear" each other just fine as far as I can tell. I have tuned to WWV with the Omni VI and it appeared to be on frequency. I'll check again, of course. The QSO

So far, it appears to be ok with WWV although USB and LSB are a few clicks different. RIT/XIT both off, Split off, VFO on A, side tone set for 700 hz. I set the Omni to CW on 14.050.00 on a dummy loa

Yes. I described this in the earlier post. When set to the exact same frequency, the Omni is heard by the 706 with a 700 hz tone. That doesn't vary with the sidetone setting which conflicts with what

Yes, I read a good deal of that. They have argued it, but no one has demonstrated it, and AFAIK, no one has modeled one. In the meantime, a good number of folks, including some who are quite expert,

OTA testing with W5DV just now has demonstrated that something is goofed up in the frequency alignment. When he transmits at 14.050.00, I must tune 14,050.70 to hear him with a 700 hz. tone. On trans
