There are all sorts of tune loops you can build using circuits from the
ARRL handbook. The basic idea is to make a LC series circuit, then you
inductively couple the signal to a Jfet amp. I just find the notion of
having to tune the loop to be a PITA. I just wish there was a more cost
effective version of the Wellbrook.

RHF, will be along with some great info.
i have the RS MW loop/ the TorusTuner loop, and the Wellbrook 330S here.
loops are fun to play with. last year someone posted the "Pizzabox
loop",
here. really fun to build; check the google groups for info. the yahoo
groups has 2 or 3 groups devoted to loops. and, my favorite- Joe Carr's-
"Loop antenna handbook". about $20 from Universal Radio. this is the-
everything you wanted to know about loops- ref. Joe's book is great.
loops are easy and fun...
