Build a Magnetic Loop?

[Riverman]

Totally agree. i dont plan to run past 100w. 99.999% of the time on any Mag Loop

If you have a full head of thick wavy hair, I'm not sure I'd use it without remote tuning and about 25' away. If, on the other hand, you're older and it's already pretty thin up there I'd say go for it.

Maybe she's missing the guts to convince her readers.

Could be. I don't post on qrz much myself. Thats where the majority of the readers are. Stupidity is powerful in large groups.

How about a stealth flag pole antenna in the front yard?

 

[jon666]

they dont even let you put up a flag here. bunch of UN Americans.
so im stuck with the mag loop inside. it gets out fairly good. better for dx.

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

Can you put up a flag pole with out a flag?

Er............................ a "stealth" flag pole antenna is still an antenna, jus sayin

 

[jon666]

nope i was told i cant put anything up on said property

that really sux... drape dipole on roof? launch vertical into tree and ground radials? I have a 20m cane pole vertical antenna...with radials for SOTA stuff

 

[jon666]

first off no trees i got my mfj mag loop on my balcony. does a good job. for what it is. i can talk lots of dx. up close i have to use my dipole.
but thanks for the suggestions.

Didn't the federal government just pass a law that prohibits HOAs from preventing ham radio antennas? As the amateur radio service is essential in the event of a disaster.

 

[jon666]

no the house did. but the senate wont let it pass. they have blocked it the last 2 years

J666, Are you running any power with that MLA? I just completed one and trying to decide if I want to put a vacuum variable on it. Since I live in an HOA. Oh yes I am going to run some power!
