Re: WL1030 questions
Hi, In the article on the active antenna the author shows two versions ... one version is a mono pole, the one you mention that uses a ground rod. The other version uses a dipole. The dipole version

I think you are seeing the capacitors he added. He says he added 1 mf ceramic capacitors, and that the diodes were not noisy, because they "did not reduce the noise at the lower end of the NDB". He

Hi Will, You are right it is important to take care when dressing antenna feed line, especially when dealing with a dipole (balanced) antenna in order to minimize antenna/feed line interaction which

Re: Tuning a loop.
Richards, The MFJ-956 and MFJ-16010 tuners are both intended for use with random length wire antennas... not loops. MFJ does make loop tuners. The MFJ-933 and -935 but they are not Z-match designs.

am loop antenna
Hi, I am looking for an effective antenna to use that will pull in local AM stations more clearly, about all I hear on AM now is static. Do loop antennas work for FM stations? I would like better FM

Re: Tuning a loop.
OK -- yet most Z match tuners seem to be home brew. Does either my MFJ-956 or MFJ-16010 tuner qualify? Or do I need something else? IS there an inexpensive commercially made one that works for cheap?

Re: Tuning a loop.
Richards, Like Jim Dunstan said the loop doesn't need to have a tuning cap. You can use a simple wire loop with a remote tuner. Google for "Z-match" and you will find a simple and very capable tuner.

Re: Tuning a loop.
Not easily done. Loops are inherently low impedance antennas, and when you're well below the first resonance they look a lot like an inductor. As you approach the resonance, they begin to look like a

Hi Len, You are correct on all counts. The original purpose of the arrangement was to provide a decent antenna for my SWL activity (Sony 7600 receiver) from 5mhz to 15mhz. The tuner sits inside the
