How do they perform ? i want to know ~ RHF . Using this antenna - 3 ft version: http://www.angelfire.com/mb/amandx/loop.html 12 turns #12 spaced .4 in. center to center apart w pickup loop 2 in. from main loop. Will not overload my SDR. Tunes approx. 380 kHz to 2.1 MHz - top freq. depending on how much coax you feed it with. I used # 12 because I already had 2000 ft. Cost about 15 bucks for wood and capacitor. If you buy an amplified loop make sure it has a gain adjustment or it will probably overload the radio. Jim(MI) |

Give me a 10 foot chunk of copper tubing, a variable capacitor, some wire and a plastic junction box and I can make one a heck of a lot cheaper than $329.99 ... Regards, JS |

I used to have a website there back in the day, but they closed all their sites, IIRC. |

You are going to have to shield the turns and stop local electrical field noise pickup, hence, the length of copper tubing I mentioned ... aluminum could work ... If you want a VERY close to exact copy ... somehow, I think most have missed that. Regards, JS |
