For those who may not monitor the SEDXC reflector, Hal, N4GG
recently did a presentation at one of their meeting. The topic was building
and using the K9AY Loop Antenna. Unfortunately I was not in town that
week, but the PowerPoint slides on construction details and Video clip of how
the antenna performs can be viewed at the SEDXC web site http://www.sedxc.org/. Look down the
page a bit for the “Flashing” sign. It’s a great
presentation. It also has reminded me I need to finish up my summer
project of loading my tower and building my 160M K9AY loop. The weather
is finally cooling off a little making working in the woods a lot more
enjoyable.
With a great video clip like the one shown, I’m sure
there will be a run on binocular cores ! If you build one of these
receiving antennas (or any other antenna project), please share your results
and a picture on the SECC reflector. The upcoming contest season is right
around the corner !
