Pat,
If I were to set up two arrays, one would have to be 2 houses down the street.
I could manage one, but would have to get the permission of the home owners

street. Behind the house is fine, but my problem is the 35-40 meter
spacing of the two loops. I could do it, but not any easy feat. If I

One of the nice things about loops that are only 20 feet onna side,
especially triangular ones is that you can use 24 ga. multi-strand
