Hi Mike,
A horizontally polarized loop -- or any other horizontally polarized 160 meter antenna -- has extremely poor sensitivity when installed less than about 0.1 wavelenght above the ground. Even if you raise a horizontally polarized loop to about 0.1 wavelength (50 feet on 160 meters) it will be a poor antenna for DXing because of its insensitivity to low angles of arrival. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "W0MU Mike Fatchett" <w...@w0mu.com> To: topband@contesting.com Sent: Wednesday, August 1, 2018 3:40:10 PM Subject: Topband: WB6RSE Flag type loop question Has anyone tried a loop like this in the Horizontal plane? I suppose if one had an AZ mount they could try it from horizontal to Vertical. His flag build was in the July 2015 QST.
