The Ciro Mazzoni Baby Loop

It's been a while since I posted on here but I decided that I needed another antenna for 40m to 10m and the Ciro Mazzoni Baby Loop fits the bill.
At the moment it is mounted within the roof space and I can't get it to resonate on 21MHz but all other bands are ok. I think it may be some localized cable running to the lights in the loft that is causing the issue. However for now it is ok. I will be moving it into the yard as a more permanent site but not just yet. 

The ATU version 2 works really well as does the actuator controlling the whole antenna. 




I am just using the manual keypad as my CAT port is already occupied with a cable feeding the PC. The Ciro Mazzoni serial switch port splitter is expensive but may be a future purchase if it works ok with Ham Radio Deluxe etc.

The antenna and associated equipment are extremely well made, came in an enormous cardboard box which was well padded and should last a few years.
