my point is that the dipole worked quite well over 15 khz but the loop 
works equally well over 90khz plus the loop is much quieter... rain 
static etc than the dipole. I have had quads/loops for many years and 
they have certain advantages over dipoles. case in point in the 1980's 
my neighbor then WA4BCY and I then K4JYO had equal setups: Drake 
C-lines, sb220 and 110 ft towers. Only difference was Don had a Hygain 
TH6DXX and I had a Hygain Hy-quad.. 2 el. when the bands were open we 
were virtually the same TX and RX.... BUT I consistently could hear/work 
before he could and could close later than him. My point is that the 
article seems to say that a dipole is a better bet than a verticle pol. 
loop... my experience says otherwise! agn my 2 cents! lol, 73's Cort K4WI
