Radio enthusiasts, how does the vertical loop antenna drum work in the Oceanic Surcouf?
Every AM loop antenna I have ever seen always had a horizontally oriented axis.
The reason for this is that AM transmitters generally transmit with a vertical mast, which polarizes the magnetic field into horizontal magnetic field line circles.
I can't help but wonder if French transmitters used a different polarization, perhaps with some other benefit that I am not aware of, like lower noise, better imunity from fading, or rejection of stations with a conventional polarization.
What bands is the drum for?
Regards,
-Joe
