Hi David,
It's nothing special at all - honest.
It's a pure 8ft square loop which is fed at the bottom centre via
a suitable matching unit in order to transfer as much power into it
as possible ;-)
Experience with this stealth antenna for about the last 10 years
has shown that just plonking a CLC type T match is the best way
to feed it.
Capacitor (series), Inductance to deck, the another Capacitor(series).
I think the first time I made a QSO on it was on 17m SSB to 3B4CF
with just 15 watts. It was nothing more than a wire loop drawing
pinned to the bedroom wall :-)
I wrote a brief article about it here:
Really, it's just a piece of wire...
Hope that helps.
73 de Andy

Hi Andy,
Can you share a bit more info about your loop and its tuning? Especially for
the lower bands.
Best Wishes
