It's hard to have the rig in a bedroom and move to the balcony to return the antenna. I have considered building a loop but at the moment I work mostly all the time so building it just would not happen. I would like to get onto 60 and 80m BUT I will be retiring this year and we are planning on moving out of the condo and just maybe there will be the room for something to cover those bands. <br />Thanks for taking the time to comment Bas all the best!<br />73, <br />Mike <br />VE3WDMVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-69588137291615922322019-03-24T16:45:37.158-04:002019-03-24T16:45:37.158-04:00Hello Mike, it is great you can get your signal ou...Hello Mike, it is great you can get your signal out with the loop. It's so unfortunate the loop covers only part of the amateurbands. At one occasion I have been transmitting from a balcony on a vacation. I was using the superantenna MP-1 with good results. Unfortunately the MP-1 only covers limited bands although there is a extension coil available, In your situation I probabely built my own magnetic loop which would be slightly bigger to cover 80m and 60m as well. Thanks for the interesting posts...always like to see what people are working with especially in difficult situations. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.com
