Re: Preamplifier
John,
I wouldn't recommend a Ramsey kit to anyone. Their components are the
cheapest possible grade, the circuitry uses minimal bypassing and
decoupling and board quality very poor. You can buy

Niki,
The parts should be available from Mouser Electronics, Digikey, Ocean
State Electronics, Dan's Small Parts and a number of other sources.
Ocean State's online catalog is probably the easiest

Bear and Scott (and all),
Thanks for prompt reply :).
Michael, Could you please recommend one or two of these "mail-order sources", ones which you know.
I still prefer to wait and see if someone

Ramsey sells a kit that should work, you can order direct or from one

Re: Preamplifier
Niki,
Lyle Koehler's preamp works very well but I don't know of any source
of a kit for it. The parts are all relatively common and should be
available from any number of mail-order

Preamplifier
Hello All,
I' have built a shielded loop for SW (1M diameter) which works very nice.
Now I want to build a preamplifier for that antenna.
I have found a scheme for an amplifier on the Net by Lyle

Re: Indoor antenna question
Jeff,
Not too sure about the 51J3 but some of the old Collins commercial
receivers had two antenna inputs. One was 50 Ohm with a coaxial
fitting and the other was a nominal 500 Ohm with screw

Re: Indoor antenna question
It makes no difference to the performance of the
antenna if the wire used is coated or bare. However,
if you're using it inside then you really want that
nice plastic covering! Also same with the wire

Indoor antenna question
A couple general antenna questions - is bare wire to be preferred to
plastic coated wire? Thicker wire better than thinner? I own a

Re: New file uploaded to loopantennas
Ditto! In 6 weeks you will have enough oxidation built up around
those joints that the transmit efficiency will drop like a stone.
