The grounded half loop describe in this article is basically a half wave length wire on 80 Meters. The 80M grounded half loop antenna, inspired by a 1984 QST article by SM0AQW, is a compact solution for limited spaces. Comprising a 127-foot wire fed against ground and supported by radials, it balances performance and practicality. Despite compromises in length and proximity to structures, the antenna delivers strong signal reports and effective multi-band tuning using an SGC 237 antenna coupler. Ideal for CW operation, it offers low SWR on 80-10M, though noise levels and safety considerations warrant attention. This versatile design excels in constrained environments. -
