Ham Radio-Experimenting with a loop antenna on the ground receiving antenna.

 If you are plagued by high background noise levels at your location, please try this loop-on-ground receiving antenna from Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW).

According to Kevin, this loop antenna eliminated much of the RF noise at his location.  

You can build this antenna very cheaply using locally available materials.

Here are a few comments from Kevin (KB9RLW).

spent some time exploring this low noise receiving antenna concept and tried a variation on it by lifting it slightly off the ground.

Kevin Loughin experiments with a ground-based loop antenna to reduce noise and improve signal clarity. The design involves an isolation transformer and comparisons with a doublet antenna. This detailed exploration tests the antenna's performance across various HF bands and includes transmission attempts.
