Re: cardioid loop antenna from Cross Country Wireless
It's not much different from a Wellbrook and rotator in terms of cost, but it is much more sophisticated, and a lot of thought has gone into it's design.
I think if you are interested in the LF

Re: cardioid loop antenna from Cross Country Wireless
First derivative of frequency with respect to time is phase, so there are no analog wide bandwidth phase shifters, excepting for goniometers. Goniometers have an annoying amplitude variation with

Would you or anyone else know where a schematic diagram could be found for such a phasing network that could be used from ~15 kHz to 150 kHz?

Re: Null Depth versus Torsion
Hi Jim,
A mate of mine, Ron, G4GXO, still produces cave radios, using different sized loop antennas, and operating on frequencies below 100kHz, using DSP and Class E PA's.
They have been used on

Yes a lot, John, many thanks.
And I still prefer "tilt" to "elevation" (height above ground to "normal" people) ho ho ho.
James' post is most interesting too.
Of course, fine tilt adjustment for a
