Re: The Geomantic Spiral

The Geomantic Spiral
Gents...
I have built my first geomantic (ground-coupled) antenna which I am
calling the Geomantic Spiral. It's nothing more than 30' of RG58 coax

Geomantic Antennae
No... they ain't loops but they do offer some interesting potential

Re: MY first post here.
Howdy, Gregg,

Homebrew Variable Capacitors
Hi All! New to the group, but not to radio. When I was a kid (very
