So ... the first thing I did was to establish a baseline... this would be the Vee Dipole VOR antenna. With the folded balun. The antenna was tuned for best VSWR in the VOR band... the attached pic shows what was accomplished... it is essentially below 1:2... considering all the iron-mongery around the antenna... good enough Smile.

A more accurate tuning would be completed after the copper foil is glassed in... that way the dielectric of the glass would also be compensated for.

The loop antennas to be experimented have to beat this to be worthy of consideration for install... stay tuned... for the loop antennas...
