Hi Simon, Unfortunately, I think you are stuck with needing something relatively large. I previously mentioned 8 phased small loops, this was to provide sufficient S/N and RDF, so as to be

Rather large, plus a fair few negative reviews..ie gone back to a k9. I do have large mag loop at end of garden. ( total circumference 20m of no joins copper tubing.) My ex London qro loop..will try

An antenna no one knows about, anymore, it has disappeared from public view and has no supporters, but has allowed stations to work DX they could not have worked without it. I speak, of course, of

Hi Martin I tend to agree with you. Even with 8 phased loops they will be “below” house gnd level in rhe direction interested in. Would only be able to mount 1 on house roof level. Next month

Hi Simon, I think it is unlikely that your small loops, in such a low noise environment, will have sufficient "sensitivity" to be constrained buy your local nose floor, which is probably why your Tee

Hi been playing around with ft8 on 160m.. on psk reporter heard in vk etc.. ( when band open.) tx and rx antenna is a Marconi T. However rx in said directions from here is poor. ( see below.) Live

I have a SAL-20 antenna for sale.? Contact me off list for details. 73l Bill, WA2DVUCape May. NJ609 425 8651bill.riches@...

@Dave, Martin i am on a weekend trip. Will be back soon and try to answer your questions. regards, Fred

I couldn't agree more, Fred. Audio, yes. ... RF, likely not. But what about below 100 kHz where most of my application lands? I'm primarily interested in "DC" through 100 or so kHz. Dave -

Hi Fred, I've had a look at your circuit diagrams, and wondered if you could clarify a point for me. I'd assumed that placing an active current source, in place of the source resistor, would set the

A better way to improve large-signal handling is to replace the source resistor of the input FET with an active current source. This increases linearity and also reduces the gain loss of the source

Yes i know, but this is comparing apples with oranges. The Ikin Amp is a balanced very low Z Input amplifier for magnetic loops. The current discussion is about Hi-Z impedance change amplifiers for

There is a reference here to Andy Ikin's paralleling of FETs, lowering the noise figure. https://www.shoc.ch/wellbrook.html The antenna uses 8 very high gain JFETs in parallel push-pull with a

Yes parallel JFETs can lower the noise at the signal gain is linear and the noise being random adds as root 2 or 41.4% for each doubling. Eventually the gate capacitance will be an issue. Andrew

I would agree. However, I seem to remember reading that parallelling FET's can improve the overall noise performance, but can't find the reference to quote. It does however reduce the input

I built this circuit and used it for many years. In fact is was my first antenna for NDB DX 10 years ago. I started with 1 FET and experienced some IMD from local AMBCB stations. Then I added 3 more

I doubt, that paralleling FETs in an reactance driven HiZ? application is worth the effort. The noise figure of an Hi-Z FET Amplifier ist primarily dominated by the thermal noise of the Gate bias
