Re: Yet another magnetic loop antenna


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Speaking of LOOPS!

I got this done (this far) last week!? It is 2 1/2' sections, so 20 ft. of 3/4" copper.? About 76" high?

The mounting for the Vac C is 1/8" copper plate, scrap off eBay.? Cap is 30-200pF and eBay too.

I used Cu. Unions, so I can take the Cap out and disassemble for moving it.? It comes apart in 20 seconds.

I am really surprised how well it receives sitting under the shed roof on the ground.

No, tuner yet?? A future project.? I am wondering now before it turns GREEN whether I should put clear spay paint on it?

About $200 so far.

I have uploaded 2 new files to the group page a magnetic loop
antenna that I built to go with my BitX-40!?It's a 2 turn 4' loop for
40 meters.

One file contains the software for the tuning controller and the
other is a complete description of the project. The files can be
found in the folder: A 40 meter magnetic loop antenna .

Comments are, as always, appreciated!
