Fun with external loop antennas
#8

Yes they are. With all the prior post I've read in all forums about noise, or "my 20' of wire isn't good enough", etc. etc. I'm not sure why more collectors do not build these. I have seen guys complain about having to re-tune the antenna everytime that band cruise. H**l that's part of the fun Icon_problem I just recently started building them and love it. I'm on my fourth one now and just experimenting. Next of the list is a spiral version. I really like the look of those.
