The plans for this antenna appeared in the July issue of CQ Magazine. The antenna is made of twinlead, with a twist in it, and a hairpin match at the feedpoint. These antennas are small, for limited space use, and can be made for any band(even 160 meters). I have tried these and haven't been having much luck. Has anyone else tried to build these antennas? I've tried mine on 40 and 17 meters, and had no luck. What kind of experience have others had? Let me know please.

Would be kinda difficult to load this antenna, I imagine. Being an imaginary antenna, it obviously has an impedance of z = i50 ohms. 73 Kok Chen, AA6TY kchen@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jul 94 02:14:16 -0500 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!howland.reston.ans.net!newsserver.jvnc.net!yale.edu!noc.near.net!news2.near.net!news.delphi.com!usenet@network.ucsd.edu Subject: SWR Analyziers? To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu I have both. Much prefer Autek because of its handy size. Also, SWR is actual digital readout instead of the old usual SWR bridge dial. ------------------------------ Date: 24 Jul 1994 00:48:05 -0400 From: newstf01.cr1.aol.com!search01.news.aol.com!not-for-mail@uunet.uu.net Subject: Want to hear your experience with AEA Isoloop.

I've read some good reviews of that antenna, which are what inspired me to buy it. I still plan to give it a chance all the same, I plan to buy another one soon.
