Hi,
I've had a baby loop before but I've always used it at ground level about 6 feet of the ground.
I want to mount my next one on the side of my house above the apex of the roof. I spoke to my local dealer and they advised against it because the loop uses ground capacitance for tuning.
Is this correct? I don't think it is.
If it can be mounted above my roof, how high does it need to be above the apex (the pointy bit of the roof :-) ) ?
Thanks

Non Craig, this antenna must be located between 1,5 Mts and 2,5 Mts.
Mine is instaled at 2 Mts over the apex, and the results are goods for the time being.
I hope this information is useful for you.

Like any antenna, higher the better
Many thanks, Richard.
Hi.
Please Richard, Can you expand your before answer about positioning the Baby Loop antenna?
I am going to install it on the side of my roof near the apex of it, and I do not know what will be reference point to measure the 1,5 Mts. minimum and 2,5 Mts. maximum height.
a) with respect to the ground or
b) with respect to the roof, as the antenna is going to be installed above the apex roof.
Thank you for your answer.
Hi I mounted mine around 2m csh above the roof.
