Greetings all!

I have a quick question in calculating the length of the e-field antenna.. (in order to enter it into the station details section)..

I want to put a few loops at the end of the copper wire antenna.. would the antenna length be whatever the length of the wire rod was BEFORE twisting the loops (longer), or just the length AFTER creating the loops (shorter)..

My gut feeling is that the loops are still considered part of the antenna length, even though they aren't straight.

Thanks everyone Cool
