[TowerTalk] Topband: Horizontal Loop Performance??

[Edward]

Concur.  Inv Vee only resonant on 80.  Loop smokes on 40m. No regrets.  Going to build Moxon for 20m.  Still have to get license before I can transmit.  My comparisons have been exclusively on receive.  Will keep group up to date.  

Thank you
Ed
