Nice antenna

I have built a long wire similar to this, inspired by this video. Absolutely the best ears on an antenna ever. I’ll Never get rid of it

Incredible Bill, now I know what they mean when they say put up a “long wire” antenna. Making the drone footage to give the likes of me the chance to see it was a brilliant idea so thanks for posting the video. 73’s M7ESD

Go bigger William, bigger! You know you're not satisfied with this anymore.😅

OMG that loop is incredible! LOL I use a MiniWhip for SWL. Got you now with G4XSB on 7127 LSB at +20 here in West Sussex UK.

Hi Bill, I just heard you on 7.165 and thought I'd check out this massive loop that you're using. I'm sat on my driveway in Marlborough Wiltshire using my FT-817 in the car with a Moonraker whip. Unfortunately the original FT-817 doesn't transmit above 7.1 MHz as it's stuck with the old band UK limits, or I would've call back to you. Perhaps I'll hear you one day when I can come back to you. Regards, Ian, G4XVW.

sum job in fairness

Very nice. Congratulations on a job well done KE5MUG

I had a 550' XL loop up ~50' that was clearly the best HF antenna I ever had. Tried various baluns and feed lines. The Open wire with a real balanced tuner is pure gold. Now I have more room with very tall trees and a Drone. Need me some XXL action!

Bill it was great to talk to you today (12-27-2022) on 17M Loop to Loop. Have you changed the 2.5:1 balun with a 4:1? I have added your video to my LOOP antenna page on QRZ. 73 Art W1SWL

I enjoyed out QSO today Bill. Hope to work you again soon. John KK4FZI

Great talking with you Bill. Watching the video now. Love the music!

William outstanding you're so damn cool what a contact you just made it's awesome man I love Lupe antennas but you have a exclusive beautiful loop antenna and you did it the right way you'll have no problem getting out knowing whatsoever thanks for sharing

Hello William thank you for sharing your video I love the loop antenna it's probably one of my favorite antennas thank you for sharing it 👍

Awesome Antenna Will -love the background music - as I play Clarinet - Oboe - Soprano Saxophone - Hope to make contact with you on HF - 👍😎

I have had a horizontal square loop for 25 years now but small back yard has 260 feet long. Would love to QSO with you sometime. Located in Tucson, Arizona USA. With your antenna if it is on you can hear it I bet. 73 WB7ORB

Most impressive antenna, Bill. Quite an effort to get it installed but it was indeed worth it and reaping in the dividends now. Excellent video by the way. 73, Mike, K2CD

i am sure i have heard you on the air before there william 60 over 9 here in cumbria, if only..........

you sound like one of the peaky blinders

I was wondering what output power you were running here....I loved my 160m loop when I had it up...great antenna even with only 100W out. We have moved from ZS to CT and I have space for an 80m loop, which I will erect in the next little while after procuring some spiderbeam masts. Ideally I would like to erect a 320m loop sometime, just to see how it performs. I love me a loop skywire! This has given me a good idea already. Thanks for the video, have fun and 73 de CT7/ZR1XZ

Interesting thx

My dream, Sir ! best regards 73's to France

great

Awesome setup. I have contacted balun designs for their recommendation for a balun for a similar setup I'd like to do. I see in the video you recommend a 2.5:1 current balun. I advised them of this, but they wanted to know feedpoint impedance on each band, could you kindly offer some direction? Gage of wire you used? Thanks and 73, VE9ASN

How much power was being used?

73 comments!!! Hi hi

verry cool ! Kc9CTG

Seriously impressed !

Thanks for sharing this top video... Space is all we need for a simple but good antenna.

Brilliant Antenna, Beautiful Scenery, Great Video. Thank you. I was only looking to see how to make a Magloop.

What a wonderful setup, hope to see you on the bands 73 N6FB

Wow! Quite an antenna farm, great on the air performance😀

Always interested to learn about large loops. I found my loop of over 600 feet installed only about 10 feet high could receive trans-Pacific BCB stations on medium wave on the west coast of Canada. A great video would be for you to simply slowly scan across several different bands to show off the very low noise floor and the signals you can receive. VA1CQ

The loop sky wire is by far my favorite antenna. Mine is only 600 feet around.

You win the AWARD for the most awesome antenna. Impressive

First length is not 32m but 3x more.

cool

Best wishes, from YO3 CXPjr. Long, long time I never looked back after my late father's old hobby, he made the final QRT in 2010... 73! to all

Thats amazing, some amount of work and amazingly constructed.. All the best for 2021, 73 de MM7IOD

Whoaaa...that's beautiful! I could live there even without having an antenna setup. Happy new year & stay safe. 73's de DK5ONV

Great video, you were 40dB over S9 today near Salzburg on the 20m band today-strongest signal on the band!!73

Thanks for posting this video William. Is route you chose, so that the wire didn't go over any buildings and be adversely affected by their ground plane? I ask because I'm thinking of similar project which ideally would go over a barn and stables with a steel roof and am wondering if this will have an adverse effect.

Thanks William voice Mr. Ahmed 40 m in a loop. Because the size of my property I might be able go to 8m or 75. It far from being the same height . Tnxs for sharing de KQ4CD Paul

Thanks for the qso on 80m put a little short video of your audio on my KZbin channel All the best regards William stay safe 👍. Fantastic antennas

Excellent ! LU8ATK 73s

That's got to be longer than 32M from the house to the 1st telegraph pole. The greenhouse seems around 6M long. You have enough space there to try a rhomboid.

William i want one :), where did you source the Balun from though just curious

Thanks for showcasing your monumental efforts. Well done and happy DX. Cheers.
