David I have a Baby Loop here in England when I am M0SNA.
I’m happy with it but not sure I would buy that style again. Pros Amazingly well built Worked first time yesterday after 20 months of non use (you know, that COVID thing….) Quiet Marginally directional Great for FT8 or ragchewing Handles 400w at 40m and close to 1000w at 10m Works fine with KX3 and a 1000w JUMA amp. Tracks frequency etc but I had to fiddle around with cables and s/w to get this to work. Cons Pain in the proverbial to “retune” when you move 1-2 KHz off frequency … 1-3 seconds retune period Given above not appropriate for contesting Steep angle of radiation limiting DX Requires a rotator Mounts 7 ft off of ground….not stealthy (my neighbors and wife think its uglier than sin, however I quite like its look) Pricey Somewhere in my blog is post of the Baby Loop….nothing really than the above www.nomadic.blog While I have no first hand experience, I think the same company makes a “loop” that looks like a car jack and is truly stealthy. Hope this helps. Paul Gacek W6PNG/M0SNA > On Oct 23, 2021, at 7:43 PM, David F.
