80 Meter Loop

Circumference: 243' of Insulated 14ga solid copper wire from Home Depot
Dimensions: 90' x 30'
Height: 60'
Shape: Rectangular
Feedline: 200' of Ladder Line feeding the loop at one corner at 30'
Orientation: Vertical supported by two trees on axis of about 100 degrees East.

This is the best wire antenna I've ever made. It's got great ears and it's even pulled out S-0 signals out of the noise with the preamp on and the rf and af gain turned all the way up on my trusty Icom-706 MKIIG. Never done that before.

I'd rather hear them and not work them than the other way around.
