MegaLoop Antenna
I’m currently writing an article outlining the characteristics of the Mega Loop antenna we use for Dorridge Scouts. If you would like a preview of this white-paper, please let me know.
The XXT Mega Loop is the name given for the application of a horizontally mounted delta-loop that has known gain dependant on wavelength size and height above ground.
At quarter wavelength above ground and above, Mega-Loops start exhibiting gain that is proportional to its wavelength and height. A whole series of articles is currently being written by the author, however for the time being, these few articles may help you determine how we operate the Mega-Loop at Dorridge Scout Group HQ.

I renewed our Narrowboat Insurance on Friday for £450. The broker happened to mention that narrowboaters historically had very few claims.
At last, some advertising on my site which I’m fascinated with. I am seriously not expecting to make any fabulous money off this but with nearly 4,000 unique visitors per month, maybe it will pay for the odd meal out with the family!
The reason for the title is to encourage Google to place the right adverts on their ads. I don’t specify the ads, Google does by trawlering the content and working it out for itself. In the main, the ads have been more or less correct but there doesn’t seem to be any Amateur Radio adverts out in the market. Maybe when the big Yaesu, Kenwood and Icom suppliers actually advertise with Google, I’ll get the ads coming through on this site, who knows.
