https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/828f4216-c43f-45df-9e5f-3c803ffe5078 A horizontally polarised loop useful for portable SSB & WSPR on 2m. It's very slim (just 1/6 wavelength wide) and light so it can be put up higher on poles than longer/wider antennas like dipoles. Because it's rectangular it has a handy 50 ohm impedance suitable for direct coax connection.
