This is post #1082 in a continuing series on "Simple Ham Radio Antennas." For those of you interesting in experimental antenna designs, you may want to build Kevin Loughin's D loop directional half magnetic loop transmitting antenna. Kevin says he got the idea for this unusual antenna from his research into NVIS (near vertical incident skywave ) antenna systems used by the military. Kevin decided to rotate the design vertically and "make a directional magnetic loop." Kevin says the antenna works "surprisingly well." The antenna resembles the once popular DDDR antenna described in older editions of the " ARRL Antenna Book."
