Re: Full wave loop for 11m
Yes i found a fishing rod in a bin... Two canes tie wrapped for the middle... 1.1 meters of satellite coax (quality £1 meter) and 37 feet of speaker wire solder both lines together and your nearly there lol mine cost £8 ish altogether... 3 pound less noise average... Good rx very good... Try one have a bit of fun... Runs 10/15 feet off the ground.. If you get on high ground... Very very good..

Re: Full wave loop for 11m
What's the best way to match the loop a balun or 1/4 wave 75 ohm coax, does the balun waste more power than the 1/4 wave coax .

I prefer coax. I wind it on plastic pipe and it works as choke at the same time.
Cheap, easy to obtain and build.
