You keep mentioning a "squid" pole. Is it squid, squib, or something else? Also, was the pole designed for some other use, but it just happens to be perfect for holding an antenna, or was it designed to hold antennas in the first place? (Is it used for squid fishing, perhaps?)
Nice job. What distances were you getting to other stations?
thx

Interesting ... another adaptation of the Edginton (G0CWT Magnetic Loop) loop, another fairly easy to fabricate and tune loop?
More info, search "edginton loop" or on youtube?

Great job. Shows you don't have to be compulsive about the loop construction and tuning cap. Thanks!!!!
p.s. How much power did you use to transmit with this loop? Was there any arcing in the tuning cap?

@MadManMarkAu Yes it's a squid pole for catching squid - not that I've ever done it.
