Horizontal Loop: Kiwa Loop

Wednesday, January 21 2004

I have installed a 624 foot approximately square horizontal loop at 10 to 30 feet high. I feed it via a Drake MN-2000 tuner. Although installed mainly for Ham use, I discovered it works quite well for AM DXing which I have always enjoyed. Does anybody have any tips to improve such an antenna for MW reception?

Also, I just learned of the Kiwa loop which appears no longer to be made. Can it or similar be obtained anywhere. It seems "just what I've always wanted since I was a kid a long time ago".
