KB6KQ Loops are designed based on a 1/2 wavelength element: Mechanically strong, good bandwidth, able to handle over 750 Watts, virtually impervious to the effects of rain and other of mother nature's attempts to detune them, these Loops are manufactured with the KB6KQ standard of excellence! They have proven themselves to be easy to install and use, and their performance is acclaimed by all users. Details are listed in the tables below. |

NOT A KIT; only the 6M loop must be assembled (too large to ship otherwise) but needs no tuning to use. | |
The tables below reflect the first KB6KQ price increase since 1996. Regretfully, material and shipping costs have simply increased too much to keep prices as they have been for over seven years. |
| KB6KQ LOOPS, tested to 750(+) Watts |
| BAND | 2:1 SWR BANDWIDTH | DIA. | PRICE | SHIP'G |
| 6M (50MHz) | 1.2-1.5MHz | 36" | $120 | $30 |
| 2M (144MHz) | 1.8-2.0MHz | 12" | $60 | $10 |
| 135cM (222MHz) | >5MHz | 8" | $60 | $10 |
| 70cM (432MHz) | >7MHz | 4.25" | $60 | $10 |

STACKING LOOPS FOR INCREASED GAIN |
|
The half-wavelength 2M Loops have been measured at 2.5dBd gain for a single Loop, and 5dBd for a pair stacked the recommended 48" (5/8 wavelength) apart. One should expect similar performance on all bands. Here is a chart of stacking distances for each band: |
|
Stacking Distance |
6M | 2M | 135cM | 70cM | |
|
12' | 4' | 27" | 17" |
| PHASING HARNESSES FOR STACKING TWO LOOPS: |
| Stacking Harness for combining two loops (6M, 2M & 135cm only) - recommend a power divider and equal length 50-ohm jumpers for 70cm) | Price: $50 |
Shipping: $10 |
|
Note that shipping is combined when ordering multiple items. If the
stacking harness is ordered with a pair of 2M loops, for example, the total shipping for
all three items might be less than listed. Check with Norm
for specific orders!
