Works OK, especially as designed for LW and MW, but overall is not as good as a dedicated dipole for HF.

I didn't make any measurements, but it was definately my impression that the loop was really good on long and medium wave, but fell off at high frequencies. How did you couple the Marconi to the loop?

I'm sure someone will come on an offer a rational explanation of why that is so. Is it an intrinsic property of loops or does it relate to the design of the particular amplifier?
