I've used KU4AB loops on 6 and 2. A single loop on 6 and a stack of 2 on 2. They are built well and work as you would expect them to. 73, Glenn/KD0Q ... ...
I would like to add my affirmation on the Ku4AB loops - I worked almost 50 grids last summer with a single 6m loop and 8 watts from a TenTec transverter. I...
Thanks for the comments on their loops...A double stack sells for only $143.95 at their web site and I get omni directional performance that rivels a 4/5...
I doubt the performance will rival that of a 4/5 element yagi as far as maximum forward gain goes. But it might approach that of a 3 element close spaced yagi...

It should show a 3db gain at max, which will not rival a 4/5 element beam, and not even a 3 element beam in most instances. 73s John AA5JG ... From: Glenn...
KU4AB doesn't list db figures on their antenna, but if I go to the M2 website, they list their double stack as having a gain of 8.2 dbd...The Cushcraft 5...
But how much couldn't you hear that guys with yagis were hearing? I can work pretty much anything I hear on my dummy load as well. 73s John AA5JG ... ...
Adding a second loop should add 3db minus any loss in the phasing harness. That is true for stacking any antenna. I can't see how their single loop should...

Gents, For the record, I am not asserting that my KU4AB loop is better than a beam. I don't have a beam option right now, and the only point I was making is...

I run a stacked pair at about 30 foot and can work 100 miles with little band conditoins . Is this as good as a 9 elm beam hell no but will it work well for...
One thing to remember about gain is that it has to come from somewhere. For a yagi or quad, the gain comes from focusing the signal in one direction at the...
Well, that's like comparing a spotlight to a camp lantern. Both have their advantages depending on the situation. I'd like to have one of each ( beam and omni...
