well tried an experiment tonight took the?yaesu
frg-7700?and look outside and the pizza box loop and from what I see the
loop is more directional closer to ground and seems to work better on some
stations. Also the tuning cap needs to be very finely tweaked to peak the
station its amazing how just adjusting it can change the sound of the audio and
or remove adjacent interference. also the loops works just about as well as my
big dipole only quieter most of the time the bonus is the size of it the loop is
much much smaller and works just as well if not better on some station because
of its directionality. I am very impressed with this MacGyver antenna or MPBL
for MacGyver Pizza Box Loop hehe. I also took and used some hot glue to secure
the turns?in 4 spots on each side also on the corners I may take some pics
later for you guys its ugly but works great. Also thanks to everyone who
suggested ideas and what not and a big thanks to bear for the
description.

Or better yet get a clean one from the pizza restaurant so it
doesn't STINK or attract ants.
