K9AY Loop questions for community wisdom/knowledge: Question 1 - I have seen plots on K9AY loops and their relative gain is way down on 160 compared to 80. Of course, they work great on 160, certainl

Nothing magical about the size -- as a loop, the signal capture is proportional to the enclosed area, and the published dimensions are the maximum that allow it to work on 80M with a simple resistiv

way down on 160 compared to 80. Of course, they work great on 160, certainly with a preamp. Does this mean you could make one for 80 that was half the size and it would still work well? Is there som

I think most people are actually building their K9AY loops to use 75 ohm coax these days as that is the standard "receive coax". The only change you need to make is the winding of the isolation/match

Dan, We have this exact set up at our QTH (W0ANT and N0AH). The K9AY loop is a single wire (east/west) and works very, very well. Last year, we had close to 500 Q's in both the ARRL and CQ 160 contes

I will add that my termination resistance adjustment did work well. It would show significant changes in the depth of nulls. Cecil Sent from my iPad _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.

I used the K9AY loop on a 60' by 90' suburban lot near Houston. My transmit antenna was an inverted L between two very tall pine trees. and one side of the AY loop was 6' from the single elevated rad

Hi Pete, You've received good advice here. Do you have a rotator on your K9AY loop? It has a deep null in one direction, which null should be aimed at your low-angle QRN or QRM source. Disclaimer: I

The SAL is pretty much just an AY loop with a more functional controller?  I have had moderate success with a pennant at V31 as well. W0MU On 1/5/2022 7:23 PM, john@kk9a.com wrote: I tried an AY loop
