New List
Wow! Woke up a few minutes ago and just discovered the loop antennas
group had vanished! Fortunately, it is still here and it looks like we have a clean slate. 73, 'Bear' NH7SR |

Yeah, quite a shock. Got a Special Notice from ElectronicDX

Re: New List
Hmmm... must be a better way to handle spammers.
Anyway, I have just added a few URLs to the Links. Sites that I have found useful for loop design. Hopefully others will add to the Links, upload some piccies and get the Files section going again. I'll be putting up what I can as time goes on. Pity that we lost so much good info but no sense crying over spilt milk. Time to "just keep on trucking". 73, 'Bear' NH7SR --- In loopantennas@..., Steve Greenfield <alienrelics@y...> wrote: Yeah, quite a shock. Got a Special Notice from ElectronicDX |

The KI6GD Loop Calculator
Just uploaded the KI6GD Loop Calculator to the Files Section.
Something that I have been meaning to do for a long time. For those unfamiliar with the program, it allows you to enter a given loop circumference and operating frequency (as well as other parameters). It will then calculate the Q, efficiency, bandwidth, voltage across the resonating capacitor, ohmic loss, radiation resistance, etc, etc. Really great for doing "what if" calculations. It does square, octagonal and circular form loops... but it doesn't do multi-turn loops. I'm still looking for a simple Windows-based calculator for multi-turn loop calculation. Enjoy! 73, 'Bear' NH7SR |

Re: The KI6GD Loop Calculator
Very cool. And thanks for posting in the Links, too!

Re: GCC Radio DX World Still Has a Group
RadioDXWorld says no such group.
So you renamed it? I'd thought you killed it after that email you sent today, and then Yahoogroups said no such group. I thought we'd lost all those excellent links and the wonderful archives. I'm still confused about what the fuss was, this time and the time before. I don't see any reason to take this one down. Please place a link (if you wish) to your loop list in the Links section. I have this list set public, anyone can join but all new members are moderated. I'm pretty quick about unmoderating once someone shows they are a real person.

Steve:
?
Heres the group:
?
?
You see, I needed to find a wonderful solution for my friend to get more members in his group, so I had to change the name. its still here.? I'm? not that dumb to delete hard
work, even my precious antenna designs. ? So for now the group is open membership
and you can be my moderator to approve membership,? Its for something that used
to be an imaginary agency, now its more like for serious hobbyist to enjoy for years
to come.?? Also I have messager so I am available to talk to you.? Believe me the
group needed security for those hard to do designs for copyright violators.? Take care.

Re: GCC Radio DX World Still Has a Group
I appreciate the thought, but please don't make me a moderator. I
am list-owner or moderator of 15 already! I'm very happy that you did not delete any of your yahoogroups. So what is GCC? Steve --- Adam Ebel <electronicdx@...> wrote: Steve: __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. |

This is not your father's loop antennas list
Some of you were set to No Email. I changed you to Special Notices so
everyone would get this. Please, feel free to change your settings back to No Email. I'm the only one who can send out as a Special Notice, and I don't typically use it much. Here's the skinny- I'm not the moderator of the old LoopAntennas. I'm the moderator of the new LoopAntennas. What happened: I got ElectronicDX's special notice earlier today, threatening to shut down the list. I sent a reply, it bounced, I tried to go to the list, Yahoogroups said no such list! So after thinking about it for a few hours, I started up a Group as LoopAntennas. I figured I'll start collecting links and files and information where I don't have to worry about it getting deleted. I'm list-owner or moderator of 15 lists, with 5,664 members between them. Like those, I've set this one so new members are moderated. Post once (maybe twice, I do have a life ;')) and I'll change you to non-moderated. If you spot a spam link or file or photo, email me off list and I'll remove it. Turns out ElectronicDX just changed the names of all his groups, adding "gcc" to the title. So it's gccloopantennas, etc. If you were a member of his lists before, you are still a member. All the files and links and archives are still intact over there. However, that doesn't change anything I said above. I hope no one leaves gccloopantennas for this one, but I do hope people join this list in addition to that one. Post good links and files, please be specific in your description. I reserve the right to delete a link or file if there is no description, and I will probably make some folders and move them around a bit as soon as there is enough to make that worth doing. Check my other lists to see what I do with files and links areas: Thanks from the list-owner of the new loopantennas list. Steve Greenfield aka Alien Steve aka Polymorph |

Re: This is not your father's loop antennas list
Well, here is my first post that makes me a member. I still don't
know what is going on with two groups, but spam happens, and I think Yahoo sells the addresses of these groups. I suggest a more constructive way of having two groups is to have one group for all the shielded loop enthusiasts and another for unshielded. I find all the shielded loop postings a bit useless - as my designs go for maximum sensitivity - NOT noise reduction. The moment I try to use shielded anything to construct a loop - the sensitivity plummets. DUH - I am shielding the wire that is supposed to pick up the signal. Now - if I use the shield of the coax as my signal wire, I get good performance again. |

your father's loop antenna list
David Kent
Hi,
Thanks to whoever initiated the move to start over. I value the discussions regarding loop antenna design, fabrication and use that take place daily on this list and resent the actions of the previous list moderator / owner to transfer my subscription without discussion or consent to another group not at all to my liking. Please do not hesitate to contact me off list for any additional help or support that may be required to get this group going again. Thanks and regards, David Kent / k4uja |

Sorry To See it Happen

It's too bad things busted up into two groups, but I choose to stay
with this one and leave the other. Hopefully this will grow to becoming the excellent group that it was in the past. Please don't mess with the colors. Green on blue on red on yellow on black is a bit hard to take. Leave it like it is, please. Thanks. Al KA5JGV |

Honey I Shrunk the Loop
A little something to start off some discussion here...
Back in 1993 Rod Newkirk, W9BRD, published an article entitled "Honey I Shrunk the Loop" in QST magazine (July, 1993). For those without access to the article, it described a multi-turn loop antenna with a resonating capacitor inserted at the center of each turn. The benefits of doing so were supposedly to reduce the voltage across each of the capacitors and to make it easier to match to 50 ohm coax. It seems to me that the same principle could be used to construct a "bandpass" loop that would not require retuning within a certain band of frequencies much wider than a single-tuned loop. Have any of you folks built one of these? If so, how well did it perform for you? 73, 'Bear' NH7SR |
