Hi y'all,

Thought this might be of interest to some.

In November,I purchased one of the G4TPH ML40MKII loops (40-15 meters). Haven't managed any contacts with it yet, but most of that is, I think, down to not figuring a good support for it yet. Plus having it indoors with lots of electrical noise and a brick house. Probably all of those things together aren't helping much. Still, on receive it seems to work a treat, and I expect it will perform well on transmit once I get it going properly. 

Anyway, was just looking at his site, and he now offers a high power version, the ML40HP, 40-10 meters and can handle 100 watts instead of just 35. 109 UK pounds, plus shipping. For comparison's sake, the one I bought was 89 pounds, and after shipping to the US, ended up at around $175 if memory serves; certain less than $200. 

Assmelby couldn't be easier, even an idiot like myself got it together. Bolt sections together with washers between the sections, slide the matching unit with BNC on the bottom raise opposite the tuning capacitor, make it as circular as possible, tighten wing nuts, bingo bango you're done.

Just in case anyone's interested. Another alternative, anyway :)
