All, Sorry my attempt at a graphic depiction of the 80m Loop I had run got so hosed up with the formatting. A little imagination will get you the point and is probably better than me trying to re-do

Jim, I mentioned "one antenna that does work well even over poor ground", not the best antenna overall. And it does work very well - enough to let me work 39 zones and 300+ countries on 80 not to men

I looked at the FCC map, and you're right, Bob, your soil conductivity is poor. Thus, the principle advantage of your array as compared to a high horizontal dipole is directivity, NOT gain. And yes,

There's a problem with using the FCC conductivity map to rank HF conductivities that I overlooked: skin depth is much smaller at HF. Soil with different conductivity may come into play at broadcast f

And, from an antenna pattern standpoint, the dielectric constant (which is highly moisture content dependent) is important.  Id venture that changing epsilon from 4 to 16 has a much bigger effect tha

The problem is not where any of us choose to live, but rather archaic contest rules that strongly favor certain locations over others. In the case of W6, it's 10:1 in DX contests. I didn't build an R
