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 !
