Loop antennas are similar, except that they will go all the way around the top of a
vehicle and will have one side grounded to the coupler ground while the other side will
be connected to the "hot" antenna lead at the insulator.
A variation on the "J" antenna is something called a "shunt fed" antenna, like a towel
bar; it is used by some of our clients on aircraft and on top of various vehicles which
have special communications requirements.
Other antennas which may be used successfully on HF may be found in the SG-230
Smartuner manual. We highly recommend the use of one of our Smartuners™ for all
HF installations where practical.
