K1LPS on the 2m
Loop:
The recently ordered 2m
Loop arrived today. I was quite surprised as to how light and streamlined it is. Very nice
construction. "(!)"...my wife might even let me put it on the Oldsmobile - Haw!

N1QVE on the 70cm Loop:
I was FLOORED by the beauty of the
instrument....absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.

N1RWY on the 2m Loop:
Your 2 meter loop has served me
well for over two years now. I use it daily during my hour commutes to and from work. Its
lightweight design, yet rugged characteristics make it perfect for even use it the 'wilds of
Maine'. This loop has seen it all, snow, ice, rain, and oh yes... tree branches! It still
works great.

N2MSS on the 2m Loop:
Just to let you know that
your 2m Loop even works in rain-sleet-ice and snow. Fog was not even a question. That's New
York weather in April.

N2WEC on the 2m Loop:
Just a note to tell you that two days ago
the loops arrived in great condition. The workmanship is even better than I expected. Today I
put up the 2 meter loop just under my vertical. I got a response on the very first call. Not
major DX but a local who works two. An hour later I worked a station who was using only 10
watts in Ripley, NY (I am in Alden, 10 miles east of Buffalo). The loop works. Can't wait to
try the six meter loop. Thanks for a great product at a fair price.

ND2X on the 6m Loop:
I tried three different
horizontally polarized antennas for 6m mobile operation, and the KB6KQ 6m loop turned out to
be the absolute easiest to install and use! The 6m Loop is centered between my stacked 2m
loops, and neither antenna system "sees" the other. This gives me maximum use of the limited
antenna mast space I have on my pick-up.
|
ND2X on the 2m Loop:
The KB6KQ loops are the
best of the six mobile antenna configurations I have used. One of the other five set-ups had
as much gain, but was not mechanically as well built. None of them provided the horizontal
polarization of your loops. Your loops provide "cross-polarization" isolation;
the first time I put KB6KQ 2m loops on my vehicle, the band was so quiet I thought
my receiver had failed (embarrassing but true)!
|
KB3JHX on the 2m Loops:
I have a stacked pair of your 2m
loops up 45 feet for base station use. I finally got the opportunity to use them today.
Made a contact in Ridgefield, CT with only 10 watts. That is 243 miles away. Great product,
great performance. Thanks!
|
N3XEM on the 6m&2m Loops:
I purchased them at the PackRat's
hamfest from DownEast Microwave, mounted them up, put the analyzer to them and loved what
I saw! Didn't even have to touch them. They had flat matches on both bands, great band
width and 50 ohms resistance. Thanks. I feel my money was well spent! (Ed's Note: Bob
added 70cm Loops which can be seen in the picture he sent in,
mounted between the 2m Loops on the tall mast).

N5TYW on the 6m Loop:
WOW, What an antenna! This 6M loop is
the best antenna ever!!!!!! I really want to thank you for such a well-constructed product.
Thanks!

W5DDJ on the 2m Loops:
For a variety of frustrating reasons, I
cannot have yagi antennas on my tower. Having used a stacked pair of your 2m loops VERY
successfully mobile, I put another stacked pair at 65 feet for my home station. I work folks
consistently at 200+ miles in our "local" south Texas "all-points-of-the-compass" roundtable
ragchews, running 100W - "omni" antennas simplify such sessions amazingly, because now I don't
have to worry about pointing the beam at whoever is transmitting to hear them and I don't have
to wonder if everyone is hearing me when I transmit. Rotor worries all gone - HI! If someone
at the 300 to 400+ mile range has trouble hearing me, I crank up the 8877 PA. The stacked pair
takes 1500W, no sweat (and the trouble disappears - they hear me)! Shoulda done this LONG
ago!

NA6DF on the 6m Loop:
Just installed the 6m loop I bought from you. Works great, built extremely
well! It is the transmit antenna for my 6m beacon. Thanks!

web site.

K7XC on the 6m&2m Loops:
I have been using the 6m Loop by KB6KQ
for over a year now (#2 ever made) with fantastic results! I run double hop pileups from Rare
NV grids while moving down the hwy. A pair of KB6KQ 2m Loops in the Jan VHF Sweeps yielded 400
Qs! Your antennas just WORK!
|
KB8PHJ on the 6m Loop:
I got it together and the wife said
not on her truck so I will install it on the tower for now. I do like what I see. A nice work
of art.

W9JCM on his 6m, 2m and
70cm Loops:
I am in an apartment
right now and have 3...loops on the back porch. They work great!
