[TowerTalk] Cloud Warmer Antenna

[Henry Heidtmann]

Lee-
My 80 meter Horizontal loop plays very well domestically- About 40' off the
ground, 64'/side, fed on a corner with 450 ohm ladder line to a tuner- Its a
great player for a smaller urban lot, especially on 80, where I've managed some
good scores both domestically and DX.
Ground the ladder line ends together and feed it against ground for a usable
160 meter antenna.
You do what you gotta do-
