Locked 15 Inch BCB Loop Antenna Idea


Scott Savage KC7WDG
 

Hi,

I got given some poly square plastic stuff and thought hmm I could use this
in a loop somehow and this popped into my mind I am thinking 15 inches on
the outside with wood and the lengths on the inside holding it together that
poly square plastic stuff is 1/2 inch square. So that would make the loop
14.5in square not huge but decent I figure. I was thinking of bringing the
coupling loop in about an inch or two from that so the coupling loop would
be 13.5in or so to 12.5in not sure which is better. was going to make the
"plate" to hold the cap out of lexan and the "plate" for the connections
back to the receiver. question is how many turns of wire for the AM BCB I am
sure there is a calc for this but I haven't seen it and I wanted to share my
design. Also the rest wood be made from wood the longer pieces.

Any thoughts or suggestions are certainly welcome as this is an idea I
haven't started building yet.
