take two so here we are in a british winter busy down the rain i'm going to put my biggest
loop ever in today about a foot or 30 centimetres off the ground it's going to go all the way around
the antenna field here the only fly in the ointment is i've i used a roll of dx10 the
other day when i put the small loop in the little forest here it's four for four meters
by four meters 16 feet by 16 feet give or take 15 i think so that means i've only got 84 meters
left on this roll and this is about 90 meters all the way around so what i'm going to do i'm going
to come past the gate here i'll have to go along the ground i'm going to nail some white flecks
and then i don't know we'll probably put coax to this little four to one balan here and run some
coax to the to the switch box all right so let's get to it okay i've actually found some some um
dx10 experimental dx10 in my r d box so i'm just going to
join it all together and that means i can use less white flecks because i don't want
white flecks we're already on what's that wire and this this will disappear better
tip if you're reeling onto a wire change hands 9900 you know every five or something and that
will the twist that you induce doing this you will un run in juice if that's the right expression
down that way look now when we moved i threw a lot of black ones of these away i think
i don't know how many of those then yeah i don't know how many there is
it's very early in the morning by the way okay so wire strippers knife cutters oh hammer
i've got some washers which will come clear in a minute
and also a nice big chunky transmit four to one balance but it's a bit heavy for our use but
never mind um rab sent me this down carp from ham tenna i think oh last year sometime he's
gone off the grid if you know what's happened to rab let me know or grab if you're watching give me
a shout mate just say hello i sent him a couple of emails but nothing came back so i don't know
if something went wrong all right let's measure it out just walk it all the way around shall we
what's that noise for mate what is it then what is it
it's it's very difficult to give an opinion without you listening
with me for about an hour okay um so let's see if we can find somebody waffling
that is the inverted l with the preamp off peggy bond
now we'll go to the big 90 meter loop with the preamp
right let's find a lesser signal
s three to four
and nine that's warning writers lovely signal from you
receive lube the little one yeah good morning uh
6830
small loop on the ground
that's the big loop
back to the inverter
on
small loop on the ground
so i was just finishing off this uh video and giving some opinions and saying the best thing we
can do is live stream this for an hour and you can follow me and i'll show you what to look for and
then you can make your own mind up but i've just done a little experiment on 80 meters the the big
loop at the 90 meter loop and the little loop the traditional loop on the ground and not a lot in
it actually i would say the tiny little one does genuinely cut a lot of noise down but sometimes
the bigger loops better and i think sometimes with this hobby it's all about options isn't it
it's not about what's best it's what's best today what's best right now on this qso you transmit
antenna that's always going to be easy all right it should receive antenna we need to play with
so there we are trying to get this thing to focus if this is the third or fourth
time you've watched one of my videos and you're enjoying what you see please consider hitting
the subscribe button it genuinely does me a lot of good if you do hit the bell you'll
be notified via an email if i'm going like a live stream and something like that and then
you can follow along with me with these different loops on the ground the big loop the small loop
transmit and all that sort of stuff because i do quite a bit of live streaming here on the radio
all right next video is coming up here have a lovely day happy new year ladies and gentlemen
and uh thanks for coming along on my journey here on youtube all the best now bye for now
you
