As a total newbie to the hobby, I sure would like it if someone could provide a closeup of the ladder line connections/solder points and as well as the design and connections of the balun. I am not so good at interpreting stick figure diagrams yet. Picturres please!

Does anyone know if the Super Loop can be modified to work on 160 meters? I am interested in getting mine to work on 160, and don’t really care if I lose the other bands in the process.

Do a search on yahoo for Dr.Ace and you will find a site for all the instructions for building this great antenna

I have had the Homebrew SuperLoop up for 9 months now and without doubt far superior to any wire antenna I have had up previous for 80m, 40m, and quite useful for 20m. 15m & 10m. It was only put up as an experimental antenna and will be replaced with a much heavier and stronger one when the warmer weather gets here. Previous antennas were WINDOM, DOUBLE BAZOOKA, DIPOLE.

Use c^2 = a^2 + b^2 to find the dimensions: a = 30, b = (112/2), c is the line descending at an acute angle (the hypotenuse); c = (aprox.) 63.53.

Search the web for Pythagorean theorem. There are some calculators that will give a more exact answer.

Can anyone give me the dimensions of the superloop antenna I see it’s 112′ across the top how long are the 2 wires that come down from the 112 foot flatop part.Or is it 112′ on 3 sides.Thank You

Hi,
Would anyone give me the measurements of the super loop antenna, and is the ladder
line 450 ohm van gordan with a .95 VF?

And what bands have you been successful on?

The balun is 4:1
I have built 2 of those antennas and they are working greate, also tried with 1:1 balun and did the best result on 80.

Good luck..
Any questions regarding the superloop please send a e-mail
