Re: FW: AirSpy YouLoop-2t with Nooelec Lana HF
I have built a 50cm diameter moebius antenna with outer side made by multilayer PeAlPe 20mm diameter and the inner with 1mm diameter wire. The idea was to increase the self resonance frequency

Re: FW: AirSpy YouLoop-2t with Nooelec Lana HF
As you are probably aware, I'm not a great fan of the Youloop, but as an experiment you could try a single unscreened loop of wire, with the same circumference as the Youloop, but connected between

Re: FW: AirSpy YouLoop-2t with Nooelec Lana HF
With Youloop, without any LNA and with Airspy HF+ Discovery the reception is very good from VLF up to the lower VHF range. But I never tried a 4:1 or 8:1 balun instead of the Youloop's built in balun.

As probably people? think about this issue. Aluminum tape is available from the heatpump/air conditioning industry. Likewise "airframe tape" this is high? grade foil tape. And then there is

Re: Wellbrook loop fails with heat
With respect to the comments on the above issue. I have to look at the bigger picture.? The basic loop design was changed in April 2014 to isolate the electronics from the mechanical stress caused by

Not by so much, perhaps 5%, from memory Owen Duffy has some calculations somewhere. Inductance is slightly higher too. Aluminium ducting tape is a definite NO from me. Coper flashing is another
