I have now finished setting up the AziLoop antenna. The coaxial cable was laid in a hose and additionally equipped with a series of 31 ferrite cores. The guy ropes were fitted with carabiners at the ground anchors. I checked all the screws again, but even the first strong storm last week did not cause any mechanical changes. Now the fun with the antenna can begin. Thanks to Aziloop creator Dave Evans, GW4GTE, for the surprising concept, the good hardware, and the successful and practical implementation and further development of the software.

Here is my fully assembled AziLoop antenna. Mast height 8 meters. Boom tubes 3 meters each. Boom tubes at a height of 1.8 meters so that animals and people do not trip over them and the antenna is at least 1 meter above the snow in winter. The circumference of the two loops is a generous 20 meters for mediumwave reception. The antenna is guyed at a height of 5 meters with spiral ground anchors. The 150 metres 75-ohm copper coaxial cable to the station is laid underground.

Now the boom arms and loop wires, as well as the radials, are all laid out and finally the Loop Controller Unit (LCU) Box is mounted. Install with the thin sides facing the midday sun. The case is weatherproof and UV resistant so needs no further protection. The LCU is powered and controlled via the signal coax. No control line from the station is necessary! The loop wires and radials are now connected in the box, the coaxial cable is connected directly, and the weatherproof housing is screwed shut. My AziLoop antenna is finished!
