Which one would you prefer?. A 130 foot dipole center fed with 450 Ohm Twin Lead into a 4 to 1 Balun and 52 Ohm Co-Ax to a Tuner. Or, a Super Loop into a 4 to 1 Balun with 52 Ohm Co-Ax to (hopefully

I personally prefer the Super Loop over the dipole...it's quieter and has more gain. It still needs an antenna tuner. If you do 450 ohm with a dipole, you should consider a G5RV design instead, which

The 130 foot dipole puts great demands on the 4:1 balun. Even if the balun does a good job of the 4:1 transformation the coax will still see a VSWR above 10:1 on every band. The loop, if one waveleng

Of course, SteppIR also has a loading coil that gives you coverage across all of 80m and 60m with the BigIR vertical. The efficiency might suffer a little (maybe 1-3 dB) compared to the higher bands

My thanks for the replies. I have a used Big IR that has given an other ham a lot of trouble, I suspect mechanical difficulties. The pertinent question was between the Dipole and the Loop. I will bui
