Hi Brian,
I was going to treat Magnetic Loops with caution because have had some reports they lack sensitivity, but I am always open to suggestion. Firstly I was going to look at what could be done with this model and make improvements. One thing was a 15 to 20db masthead amplifier mention above then look at the proximity of the element to the reflector. I have been told there is about a 15db loss with this design so I will look at these first before a re-design into a new antenna.
Thanks for the suggestion though it is possible the narrow bandwidth may have been a factor in the past designs to give the bad reports.
I was hoping one day to try make all different types mostly to test personally efficiencies etc. Good practical experience before starting the real studies at Uni.
The construction design will be similar to any model I decide to make within limits.
