Has anyone employed that K6STI receive antenna? It doesn't equal a Beverage, for sure, BUT - for a small footprint area it looks interesting.


I think you will find that loop a good example of a system that models as a practical antenna with the infinite common mode isolation of current sources used in models, but is very difficult to make work properly with real-world feedline connection issues.

This is why we should always include something representing feedlines in models.
