After asking the overall evaluation of the current loop antennas, I am
thinking more along the lines of the KISS system for my mobile/rover
setup.(Keep It Simple Stupid)
Therefore I am now thinking about running a simple Hamstick dipole setup for
6 meters since a loop is nothing more than a dipole with the ends folded
around into a loop/square.
Any thoughts? As I can run this on my truck at +/- 8feet when moving located
on the back of my truck bed tool box so it doesn't extend past either end of
the of the vehicle. Then once stopped, I can elevate it up to 20 or 30 feet
by the receiver hitch based antenna raiser system.
It should work as well as a loop, shouldn't it?
