Topband: K6STI low noise receive loop

[James Rodenkirch]

I will let all know, Bob - plan to erect it in about two weeks, in preparation for the Pre-Stew and the ARRL 160 contest (I'll be on travel the month of December so will miss out on the Big Stew) and I'll "report out" as soon as I have some observations to pass on!

72, Jim R. K9JWV
