Well, there is no "modeling" associated with this effort, Tom - they just "did it".....built it, tuned it and used it! I've attached the article for perusal, if interested....Jim R. _________________

Great - I appreciate you revisiting the article....I am going to try it in a week or so. Jim R. _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
"there is no "modeling" associated with this effort." Jim, I took a look at the article today and also threw together a basic (simple) EZNEC model and my generated elevation pattern closely resembles
And, in my case, Don, I simply need to put up an antenna that's: a) more efficient than my vertical and b) fits within the confines of my property....having any noise cancelling or nulling is a plus

If you try the K6STI low noise loop please let us know your results. I have tried a number of low noise receiving loops, currently am playing with a Waller flag. The K6STI loop is very interesting, I
Maybe I'm the only guy on the list that actually built one of these antennas. I used it for 90-meter BC DX, and the results were spectacular. Background noise dropped to a very low level, and I could
Hi, I dunno about Jim's real estate but a full size 80 meter dipole would extend off from my lot. Somebody else in a different thread concerning this pointed out that those blessed with large territo
I tried one of these back in the late 90's, while active as ZS5K. Sure it cancelled most of the noise arriving from the horizon, but, then, most of the DX comes from there as well. I never heard anyt
Jim, When I first got on 160 I put one up at the urging of W6KUT (SK) back in the late '80s. It worked fair but had a lot of QRN from the cars parked underneath in the garage. The dimensions of the f

Hi, I built one right after the article appeared in QST. I live in the country with no close neighbors and had practically no noise to begin with. So I didn't notice a difference in reception, and I
I will let all know, Bob - plan to erect it in about two weeks, in preparation for the Pre-Stew and the ARRL 160 contest (I'll be on travel the month of December so will miss out on the Big Stew) and

And, with all of that said, Tom - your technical evaluation and "cautionary" statements are spot on and I, for one, enjoy reading and assimilating as much of it all as my feeble brain allows - your f
