Mike, the URL for the pictures isn't working, but the one at the bottom
is.. Loops can be half-wave as in squalos and sqloops or halos, or
full-wave loops as I have worked folks using them also. The full-wave loop
would have a higher angle of radiation, which would be better for E-skip.
Am thinking about putting a 3-ring halo on the truck for the CQ
contest.Have a WiMo for 2m SSB.
