Magnetic loop antennas can offer some interesting possibilities for radio amateurs living in deed-restricted properties (HOAs and CC&Rs). As Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) points out, not every loop antenna project works as built.   In this video, Kevin recalls some of his successes and failures in the loop antenna category.  Kevin says each project, be it a success or not, provides valuable data for future antenna designs. Here are some of Kevin's observations and results: I spent yesterday building and experimenting with magnetic loops. Here's what I learned.

If you're looking for an experimental antenna you can use in deed-restricted properties (HOAs/CC&Rs) or for portable and emergency operations, the magnetic loop antennas described by Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) may be what you need. Kevin does an excellent job of explaining the theory, design, construction, and  use of these small antennas.  He also discusses the limitations and safety concerns related to magnetic loop antennas.
