Hi All,

Currently I have a top loaded vertical for 160m, works great for the DX but
not very good
at all for inter-G contacts.

I'm now thinking of putting up a horizontal loop at quite a low level so
that it operates
as a "Cloud Warmer" giving a nice high angle of radiation for inter-G
contacts.

The question is, should I go with a one wavelength loop for 160m or two
wavelengths ?
If two wavelengths, why ?

I'd also like to use the same loop for inter-G contacts on 80/40m too ...

Look forward to your opinions gents.

73 es gud dx de
