Working Far Horizons
Early morning finds me out on the plains of southern AB working the bands with my 10-40 meter takedown mag loop antenna that I recently completed in my workshop.
As much as I enjoy building antennas, and my latest is alwys my favorite for awhile, or at least until I build something different, I must say that the mag loop antenna is proving to be a very interesting design.
After taking it out along with my manpack that has an FT-897D transceiver at its heart running on internal batteries, and making numerous contacts across the US and Canada, I am more than pleased with the design, as it is proving to work great with good reports received.
