Re: 1044-Foot Loop
Pat,
Interesting that you find yours works well at 20 feet high. This doesn't surprise me. Modeling shows how different the performance of loops can be at different heights. According to EZNEC, a

The length and height sound good

Re: 1044-Foot Loop
With further consideration, I think the loop is more likely to be a rectangle as follows: two sides 165 feet, two sides 357 feet. I don't have enough space to make it a 261-foot square.

1044-Foot Loop
I've been away from this subject and this group for a long time. I am building a new house and I am now planning a loop.
I want the loop to be approximately a square with each side about 261 feet

Re: Sharing my project
Hi Mike,
Ah OK, that clarifies several things.
I think that it is important to include that information in more detail along with your design.
Your design decisions then make a lot more sense when

Re: Sharing my project
Hi Martin,
I agree, the input capacitor of 1nF is too much in most cases.
I used this value with cross-parallel loops 0.7m diameter each, copper foil conductor on kids hula-hoops. The combined

Re: Sharing my project
Hi Mike,
A good project.
I'm a bit concerned about the value of the input capacitors which are shown as being 1nF, with a comment to reduce them to 100pF if there are no strong FM stations

Not so much a propagation concern as keeping the near fields away from people. The voltage on the tuning capacitor will be of the order of many kilovolts? with a current of >10 Amps at around the

I not put anything near the loop. I would only build something below the loop. A platform of 1.5 high where the 2 meter pool is standing on. And then the loop will sit on the pool.
