Double Fractional Loop Antenna

Hand built by Richard K8NDS (sk). These rare antennas offer incredible performance in limited space.

This model provides coverage from 15m to 40m and will take full legal limit power. Super high Q and works well in areas close to, or even underneath power lines. Only needs 6 feet of elevation between the bottom loop and the ground and needs no ground plane. There were only a limited number of these made. Asking $2000 and includes rotator and tuner.

Information on these antennas can be found here: https://www.qrz.com/db/K8NDS
