Going loopy

摘要

I have always been intrigued by small antennas. For those of us living in suburbia, seven-element tribanders at 110 feet can only remain a dream. The quest therefore is always for electrically small antennas for HF that work.rnOver the years I have experimented with magnetic loops, crossed field antennas and E-H verticals and have come to the conclusion that, for now at least, the magnetic loop seems to offer the best alternative to beams and dipoles if you have no space.
