So, if an observer were looking at us from the side,\n\nVertical:\n\"satellite\" |\n                                       XXXXX- Ground\n\nHorizontal:\n\"satellite\" --\n                                        XXXXX-Ground\n\n45 deg:\n\"satellite\" /\n                                       XXXXX-Ground\n\nSo we didn't really test the circularity of the ground antenna, but the gain\npattern of the rubber duck.\n\n\n> Wait - were you testing the loop during any of this?

Under these\nsame conditions on Friday, the loop only worked up to 10dB.\n\nAlso, I can use a network analyzer tomorrow at 2PM. Is it worth analyzing\nthe square loop antenna at this point?\n\n-Nate\n",
