I¡¯d sure be interested in hearing
more about the loop, Lou. Did you build as a magnetic loop? (Hints, please.
Antenna¡¯s are what breaks my heart, here.)

I was able to work W8RU but only because
Ron wouldn¡¯t give up trying to get me. I know I should¡¯ve bought
him a Christmas present! He more than earned it, tonight.

Well, I got one. Been a
while since I even heard the foxii.
Used a new antenna this evening. A 13-turn loop (6' X 4') tuned by an SG-239
the whole thing laying against the bedroom wall about 10' off the ground,
oriented for East/West but heard North/South nest.
Tried an attic mounted slinky dipole and an MP-1 in the attic ,too, but the
loop gave consistently better results.
I heard W0NTA for a while and then the western path closed. W8RU was
readable entire 2 hours although sometimes very weak.
