Topband: K3NA Loop Array

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Thanks.  Too many years ago, near Tofino, BC, it was noted that a 1500' wire running perpendicular to the shore  (and even with several hundred feet over salt water, leading to an offshore island and peninsula) seemed to provide reasonable signals from overseas medium wave broadcasters, while a similar wire running along the shore line didn't.  However, these are anecdotal, and for different overnight periods; definitely worth carefully repeating the exercise, if the area wasn't now overrun with tourists.

best wishes,

Nick
