How Much Signal Are You Actually Losing With a Loading Coil?
Testing a full-size quarter-wave vertical against a center-loaded coil antenna to see how much signal is actually lost. In this ham radio antenna comparison, I measure real-world signal differences between a full vertical antenna and a loading coil vertical, explain why loading coils trade length for efficiency, and break down what a 7–13 dB loss really means for portable HF operation on bands like 20 meters, 40 meters, and 80 meters.
