A decade back, I made use of an old tube-type Stoddart NM-22A Field Strength EMI/RFI receiver for this purpose, as, a tuned RF front end serves the purpose of fundamental filtering or notching. Beware

Null Depth versus Torsion
When using flexible conductors, we need some arrangement to keep the loop flat.
Any significant torsion or twist presumably affects null depth.
So just wondering if anyone has done the

Re: SOME MEASUREMENTS of a SML
Hi Gus,
I mistakenly said "Diameter" when I meant perimeter (I did enter the correct perimeter in the calculator).
I didn't know about the 66pacific.com calculator's error in computing inductance.?

Re: SOME MEASUREMENTS of a SML
My loop diameter is 36-inches. That makes the *circumference* 113-inches.
That's what I measured.

Re: Stainless-Steel Loop with Wellgood 4.1 Amplifier
Unfortunately, I have no plans for this.
I have built two of these antennas. One has been sold. I will also sell the second one after extensive testing.

Re: Steve ugly-build LZ1AQ using MPS2222 sweeps uploaded to Photos
Hi Raphael,
Your analysis is correct.? You could get there a little more directly:
(generator level)? = (Isc)*(R_dummy_areal)
=(0.707mA)*(2K Ohms)
= 1.414V
The dummy areal is a linear system.?
