Locked Message from Andy Ikin - I don't have to cut into my ALA-1530.
Here is a synopsis of messages I recently received from Andy Ikin, they're pretty interesting and put to rest several questions that people have about the ALA-1530. I stand corrected on the loop

Locked Re: Building my first loop
Oops: wouldn't be a 2f range anyway, forgot the sqrt. Should read "... this will not be a 1.4f frequency range but will be a 0 - C/2 top range with considerable overlap with the 0 - C single-section

Locked Re: Building my first loop
But with a lot of not very useful overlap. A better way, with one less switch, would be to - wire the first section across the loop, - parallel the second section with 280pF and connect via a switch

Locked Re: Building my first loop
Since the rotors are very likely on a common metal shaft, probably you cannot connect more than 2 sections in series. Much depends on how big your loop is and what frequencies you want to tune, which

Michael, Its a collectors item, and if you had a radio as old as the antenna you might fine it a great part of your collection. Rick <portstevos@...> wrote: with only 17 hours to go! Does this mean

Ah!! Now I see how much it is going for, $99.00 but no bids yet with only 17 hours to go! Does this mean that the antenna would not be worth the $99.00 or does it mean that it would not be much of a

Ah yes, it is a huge oblong loop for medium wave, I wonder how it worked compared to the more conventional looking Lincoln loop beside it? I was going to build an active medium wave loop antenna back

Hi Ed, You did not say what frequencies you are building the new loop. I am assuming the loop is for the MW frequencies ... eg 540-1700Khz. In any event it sounds as if you don't quite understand how

Some of the old Zenith floor model tube radios from the 40's used a loop antenna called the Wave Magnet.It was wound on a cardboard form.
