Experimental Loop HF Antenna

Experimental Loop HF Antenna

By: Eugene Mavrin, UA5AA

So, at my new QTH I will need to install a balcony antenna. I have read a lot of pages in the internet and decided make a Loop Balcony Antenna- Loop with perimeter 10- meter. However before to install the antenna on my balcony I am going to test the antenna on a field, in my cottage.

I made the antenna from aluminum profile. It is a rectangular loop with sides 3.35 x 1.5- meter. Antenna is installed on a dry wood bar. Low horizontal side of the antenna is at the height 1.6- meter above the ground.
