Sir: I have used mag loops before. an swr bridge is not necessary, but sometimes desirable.

I'll let the list know how it goes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelvin Marsh" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2013 11:22 AM Subject: Re: Very fine web site > Hi Eric, > > Do you use a magnetic loop yourself?
