Hi Dave,
Yes, You are right!
There is no need to invest for old devices.

Re: "active antenna preamplifiers" in ham radio May 1986
Hi Fred,
Thanks for the advice.
I had gotten a Soviet KP901B about 20 years ago.
I remembered it and tried to improvise.
The radiater is a Jpanese brass coin with a hole.
Indeed, it worked as an

Re: "active antenna preamplifiers" in ham radio May 1986
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the advice.
I have some low noise audio FETs (2SK170 etc) that I got a long time ago.
I thought could not use them for RF because of large Ciss.
However, LTSPICE simulation to

Re: Reasonable size of an AziLoop?
;-)
That reminds me of the note in the AziLoop manual, “To be clear, the antenna does not move”
Thanks for your explanation and assessment. Especially the reference to the earthing, which I will

Re: Reasonable size of an AziLoop?
Thanks Guy,
I know your and Walt's ambitions for AM-DX, your solution is already very perfect. I can see that the size (one meter up or down) will be a very good option, also the self-supporting

The J-310 would be a much better choice.

Re: Reasonable size of an AziLoop?
Hi Christoph,
I use 16m (50ft) circumference (W=20ft, top H=15ft, bottom H=4ft) .? I decided on this size for 9dB or 10dB noise over-ride from the antenna on 160m. using only 4 x 3.5m elevated

Re: "active antenna preamplifiers" in ham radio May 1986
With todays knowledge, the usage of a MOSFETs in the front stage of an active e-field impedance converter is not really a good idea. Even if some professional active-monopoles like the Eastern German

Re: "active antenna preamplifiers" in ham radio May 1986
Hi Hisami,
The circuit and principles shown in the article are valid, but the reasoning behind them is now somewhat dated. The use of a power FET for this purpose was "state of the Art" at the time

Re: "active antenna preamplifiers" in ham radio May 1986
Hi Vojtech,
Thanks for the reply.
"neutralisation" is a nostalgic word.
I hadn't been aware for years.
It filled few pieces of the puzzle.
Thanks also for the explanation of the traps.

The image you uploaded from Dave's excellent presentation actually shows a circumference of 13.8m; close, but not quite the 15m you mentioned.
