Experimental Loop HF Antenna

Antenna was fed in the middle of a vertical side by two wire line MFJ- 450- Ohm in 3- meter length. The line is hook up to automatic antenna tuner MFJ- 993B. Figure 1 shows design of the antenna. Picture 1 shows the antenna at the cottage. Picture 2 shows feeding of the antenna.

MFJ- 993B provided tuning of the antenna with SWR 1.0:1.0 on all HF Bands (as well as on the WARC). Picture 3 shows reading of the MFJ- 993B on 20- meter band. Antenna works well on receiving. I tried the antenna on transmitting and found that my transceiver could bite me at some bands.
