Dear Thomas,<\/p>\n

I am Giuseppe Morl\u00e8, IZ0GZW, from Formia, located in central Italy along the Tyrrhenian Sea. I hope everything is going well for you after the hurricane and that you and your loved ones are in good health.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sending you this latest loop antenna of mine, which I\u2019ve named \u201cDelicate\u201d due to its small size\u2014about 20 cm in diameter\u2014and because it fits perfectly with the Malahit receiver inside my car.<\/p>\n

I am currently comparing it with a larger loop antenna inside the car to see how they differ. In fact, all of my antennas\u2014whether for VHF\/UHF or CB\u2014are installed inside the passenger compartment of my car, and I can assure you, they work very well. Even my antennas for HF listening are mounted inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

I also have a loaded wire antenna hidden under the car, running from one wheel to the other. It works especially well on the 20-meter band, which is my favorite band for listening.<\/p>\n

I wanted to share with you and all of the SWLing Post readers my experiences with listening and QRP experiments.<\/p>\n

Thanks to you and all the friends at the SWLing Post.<\/p>\n
