Thank you, you've said it very well, and given the URL's of the sites
I referred tp/

FWIW - I have one of the Edek "Torus-Tuner" 16" Shortwave
Loop Antenna sitting on-top-of a Grundig Satellit 800-M Radio
next to this Computer right now; and it does Help to Bring-in
the Shortwave Radio Stations and cut down on the local RFI /
EMF Noise inside the House.


I met "Ed" at a hamfest some years ago, when he was making each
"Torus-Tuner" loop antenna by hand in his worshop. He demonstrated
the performance of this antenna to me using a Sangean portable SW
receiver he had brought along with him to the hamfest. I was amazed.
Ed was interested at the time in finding someone interested in making
and marketing these antennas commercially, as he was doing this more
as a hobby than as a business. I was injterested at the time, but had
other obligations which took priority.

Interestingly, I've yet to hear from anyone who has had anything but
good experiences, good remarks about the "Torus-Tuner" loops.

-imho- your Price is very reasonable too ~ RHF


Especially with the antenna amplifier, I believe it's priced to sell.
