[bars] Loop antennas

[Christopher Lennon]

I built a homebrew loop out of about pi meters of 12 ga house wire and a
4:1 balun.  I based it on an article about small antennae for receive by
Steve Best.  No tuner,  I only use it for receive.  It works okay, not
great, but it is compact.

The antenna you mentioned seems to get reasonable reviews.  So, worth a
shot!
