After my recent comment about KB6KQ VHF loops (which were discontinued
when KB6KQ became a Silent Key), I got a note from Lu, N2SLN letting me
know that these fine antennas are again available from a company called
Loops-N-More located in KS.
I have had a pair of KB6KQ 6M loops stacked on the side of one of my
towers for about ten years as an omnidirectional alternative to my
long-boom yagis, and can attest to their electrical performance and
mechanical longevity. Loops-N-More offers a 6M model, a 2M/70cm dual
bander, and a 125 cm model, all of which have potential for simple, low
$$$ rover applications.
They have a nice web site with technical information and on-line ordering:

Thanks to Lu, N2SLN for bringing this to my attention. I thought others
here on the reflector might be interested in this info as well,
particularly if KU4AB isn't filling orders.
