One of club member built a similar multi-band loop out of fiberglass poles and tie wraps. It performed very well and did many QSLs on field day. 73, Alan - W6ARH Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2014 8:28

It may be true that HOAs can seem to be overbearing. But everywhere I know of the homeowner is informed of the HOA before buying the home. That said, one of the great things about a loop antenna is

N3FJP & son had built a multiband nested loop...looks interesting...and a good read! http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/arrl/qst_201403/index.php http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/arrl/qst_201403/index.php

Harry, I have used an untuned loop about 90 feet circumference ( a two turn loop sides 6 metres x 2 metres, hung under the eaves at this QTH.) The plane of the loop North/South used it to listen to

It is fascinating that I would compare any antenna, except in an antenna shoutout, to a loop. I find that fascinating because no where in the design of a small Magnetic Loop Antenna will you find the

Harry, Might you not be better off with an easily homemade multiband dipole, cut and orientated to the frequencies/regions of your preference? Such an antenna is easily hidden, too and its

A 100 foot long receive loop makes no sense. Receive loops need to be less than 1/3 wavelength at the highest frequency, which would limit you to 3 MHz. You should probably be looking at a Pixel or

I live in an area that has HOA rules against outdoor sw antennas. I think my best bet is a stealth loop antenna laid directly on the roof. It would be trapezoidal in shape and about 100 feet long. I

Locked Re: Measuring very small AC resistances
Forget about this handbook. What you want to do to measure a low impedance is to use a TWO port network analyzer (not a one port NA or an impedance analyzer) and connect the ports to an SMA tee.

Is the reason that coax is worse than soft aluminum (not rigid aluminum) to build a magnetic loop antenna from because there are thousands of lossy connection points as the braid of the coax weaves

Silver isn't particularly soft and brass isn't that hot in the conductivity stakes. And we're not discussing pure aluminium, we're talking aluminium alloys. It's all a negotiation between

The transmitting loop will have a very sharp resonance when tuned to your frequency. It will act as a good pre-selector. In fact, you can tune your loop by listening for an increase in noise as you
