[TenTec] Horizontal loop for 80m

[Tommy]

Hmmmm...not sure what using multi turns would accomplish. Do you have any
specific reason for wanting to try multi-turns? I'm interested because I'm
thinking about putting up either a 160m or 80m full wave loop here in the
country. A 106m loop mainly because of the lower angle radiation lobes your
supposed to get on, say 40m and 20m. Would be interested in why your
thinking about using multi-turns.

Thanks.

Has anyone ever  tried a multi turn horizontal loop for HF  transmission and

reception? I can't recall having heard mention of anything like  that being
done. I'm talking about 2 or 3 closely spaced turns that resonate on  (say)
80
meters, at a height of 25 ft or so. I guess if it were feasible, people
would
be doing it. I know I could just give it a try, but thought I'd ask  here
first in case I am considering trying  something previously proven not to
work...

Thanks
