I built one out of stuff I had lying around so it definitely isn't as
pretty. They don't mention it but loops are very directional and are found
in RDFs. It worked out nicely for my use since I could null the Mexican
powerhouses and pick up the broadcasts from Phoenix or Tucson. I had a
Yagi to get the Tucson FM stations and a Quagi set up for 2M so I could
hit a repeater on Mingus Mtn about 90 miles away and tie into the net with
a RatShack handheld.

Then there was the inverted V for 40 and 80. A drawback of 'retiring' at
40 is you have a lot of time on your hands and start doing stuff that
doesn't really need to be done. I did like Bill Cooper's 'The Hour of the
Time' radio show before the Apache County deputy shot him. Radio Havana
was fun too when they weren't jamming it.
