Description

Welcome to another discussion about loop antennas that cover
the ranges of 1 kHz to 300 MHz or other frequencies. This group
will show you how to construct a loop antenna for improving your
radio reception. Also we have files, pics, and links about
loop antennas and accessories for loop antennas. If you have
a question about loops feel free to ask and hope you get good
answers from the group. A loop antenna consists of a variable
tuning capacitor that is connected to a coil, a big coil in parallel
with the variable tuning capacitor. Some loops are connected to the
coil and then variable tuning capacitor in series and then to the receiver. If you need support for you loop antenna projects go ahead
and post your questions here.
