Re: My first frame aerial
Small loops actually make poor antennas for both receiving and transmitting. The difference is that for broadcast reception you are receiving a strong signal in the presence of a lot of noise, so a poor (but very directional) antenna can do a good job. The converse happens for transmission - now the noise is at the other end so the weakness of the small loop becomes apparent. This gives the appearance that antenna reciprocity has failed, but it hasn't.
