Loop Antenna Info
    I have personally used a 160 meter band Horizontal Full Wave Loop antenna with very good success, i worked all 50 states and several countries with 100 Watts


Topband with its wavelenght 160m
    Dimensons are explained on the picture, during my initial testing was resonance on 1850kHz


A 43 foot Vertical for 80 and 160 meters
    The vertical has a reasonable SWR of 60-10 meters


160m vertical antenna system
    As ground net we use chicken-wire which is covering the lot completely 60m x 60m.The conductivity arround every vertical feeding and grounding point more than 30 is improved by copper discs which are interconnected by copper strips. Not only the mesh but also the 10 cm wide stripes grew into the earth
