Locked Re: Loop matching
Automatic tuning could be made to work, but you will have to furnish a pilot carrier for the coupler to know how to tune the loop. The SGC "stealth kit" is basicly a green camouflaged loop and support

Yes, it is certainly possible. ATU's are primarily designed to tune 2-30 mhz and go into the auto tune mode when they receive an injection of several watts of power from your xmitter. The larger the

Hi, An automatic antenna tuner works matching the transmitted signal of the transmitter to the antenna. If you are using it for this purpose it will work well. I am using an LDG AT-200Pro autotuner

Locked Loop matching
Hi, loop fans! I'm thinking of using an auto antenna tuner to match a HF square loop's internal impetance with RG58. Is that possible? Thanks in advance...

Hi Fraser, I'll give them a try and see what's still available. I had already ordered the "2nd half of the 90's" CD from the Medium Wave Journal, which should include several of Andy's articles.

Damn, Yahoo Groups Email address detector has hidden the email addresses in my message. Here they are again but I've used AT instead of @ so you will need to change the email address accordingly

Here is a synopsis of messages I recently received from Andy Ikin, they're pretty interesting and put to rest several questions that people have about the ALA-1530. I stand corrected on the loop

Locked Re: Building my first loop
Oops: wouldn't be a 2f range anyway, forgot the sqrt. Should read "... this will not be a 1.4f frequency range but will be a 0 - C/2 top range with considerable overlap with the 0 - C single-section

But with a lot of not very useful overlap. A better way, with one less switch, would be to - wire the first section across the loop, - parallel the second section with 280pF and connect via a switch

Locked Re: Building my first loop
Since the rotors are very likely on a common metal shaft, probably you cannot connect more than 2 sections in series. Much depends on how big your loop is and what frequencies you want to tune, which
