i think your problum is fixable,I have an overload problum even without an antenna attached. Usually Clueless <usuallyclueless@...> wrote:First let me apologize for wasting everyone's time here

Probably Category 5 networking cable. The copper wires in it will work fine. take I Take off the outside covering, and only remove insulation where you need to twist wires together to make a

When I looked at the end of that cable I only saw 6 wires. Upon taking the white covering back I see 4 twisted pairs. White and 4 colors. No shielding. All insulated. Telephone? I am sorry and

Wood is ideal. I mentioned the others because they are very easy to find and work with. But if you have woodworking skills - so much the better. I have several construction articles about making

Thank you so much guys, Bruce and John. I sort of get a little of this inductor/capacitor thing now. I am interested in one of the commercial FM antennas mentioned as the reception on the TV next

Greetings Clueless! It depends on what you mean by super expensive. CCrane offers a very nice AM antenna that would serve you well in your outlying area. They go for a hundred bucks though, (unless

Welcome to the group! We are all still clueless on this topic to one degree or another. And the only stupid questions are the ones that do not get asked. I am the author of one of the loop

First let me apologize for wasting everyone's time here but I am so lost. And thanks for being brave enough to read this. I don't know what any of these technical terms everyone writes of mean.

Bruce, I like the new front page. The graphs showing the difference between single and multi-turn loops were especially welcome. I'm surprised that there wasn't a greater difference but that may

Good morning, Thanks to everyone who responded to my new guy question. I appreciate it and hope to give input to the list as time goes on. Have a great weekend. 73 Steve N4TKP

Chris, Ummm... stronger stations with the plates disengaged? Well that would work to attenuate their signals. For the weaker stations you should find a very pronounced peak in strength as you tune

well, its done, and it works quite nicely. Thank you for the responce. The cap I used has two seperate setts of plates, so I hooked up a small toggle switch, so i can run both sets or just one. I

That is a very nice looking loop. --- lockmanslammin@... wrote:

Thank you man, thanx for the kind words, and also letting me know I was on the right track. I will let you know how it works if your curious, Chris

Daniel, With the kind of bandwidth you are getting on 40m I would say the loop's Q is seriously degraded. You should only have about 15-20 KHz between 1.5:1 points. KI6GD's loop calculator predicts

Chris, Sounds like you made a very fine loop, indeed! The only thing I would have done differently is to make the coupling loop about 1.5" to 2" in from the main loop winding. That helps improve

I was able to get the antenna to tune up on 40m, but had to switch from magnetic coupling to a direct matching system (shield of coax at center point of loop tubing, and moving end of coax along the

Daniel, Very interesting post! I like your idea for the tuning capacitor. I thought about a somewhat similar approach using a larger diameter copper pipe sliding back and forth over the gap in the
