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.

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

I believe you can build you own balun with some standard ferrite cores.
You can find some interesting baluns projects at dxzone.com

I’d like to try this antenna but I want to build it. Any more details on the balun or can it be purchased separately?

Thanks for the antenna info.
