<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have such a magnetic loop antenna at my QTH (DL1R) in Munich and a 10 m
military ship board whip antenna with an antenna tuner, both operating at
150 Watt.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The whip antenna has always outperformed the loop antenna, which only
covers a 1:2 freq. range.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I belief a V -Antenna , symmetrical, and the tuner will be the best
choice, with 2 x 7 m being the best length. I will try
this soon and report back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The loop antenna requires frequent mechanical retuning for 5 to
10 KHz, that keeps you always busy .</DIV>
<DIV>Any comments ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
