[RFI] 160m ARDF / fox hunt antenna

[N1BUG]

Thanks! I just threw one of these together and it works! I can hear 
the noise in question re-radiating from my 160 vertical while 
standing 7 or 8 feet away. That's not far, but considering this is 
re-radiation from a source at least 700 feet away (probably more) 
I'm hoping it will be sensitive enough to hear the source when I get 
close enough to it. I have no idea what it is I'm chasing. The loop 
has a nice figure 8 pattern "as advertised".

After a quick lunch I am headed off to see if I have any luck 
finding this noise...
