Hi, I have spent some time reading the different files and a large number of posts within this group. I would like to build an antenna similar in concept to...
I am looking for a antenna to use at 14.300 MHz and am thinking I would like to try a pair of Delta loops. I need something that gives me better ears when...
I have a number of crystals - all new - that I can make available for anyone who needs some. The crystals are 3.9, 4.3 and 4.4 MHz. Alternately if you have any...
The pipe wrench rotator described by Jim, VE3CI, is an upscale variation of the "armstrong" rotator. Years ago in ham radio circles, turning a mast using only...
Jim, More good stuff, thanks, One thing that I have thought about for deicing loops is to run a low voltage, low current through them. Would work with the ...
Ok this might seem dumb but ; Iv'e built two loops for am now ,one simple loop for a cheap radio i have in my office hard wired to radio ,another with a...
My loop was down for cleaning, so I took a minute and popped it open. The motor specifications are:(the loop is circa 1983) Manufacturer: Applied Motor...
Well some great ideas ! Thanks Paul for the links i'm going to make that simple loop for sure! I knew i saved that piece of coax for some thing ? For Jim's...
I recall reading somewhere that Litz wire is only worthwhile up to something like 1200 kHz; if i don't have that figure quite right, i recall that the...
Small tv sets often come with a separate small loop for the high bands. I have one here which measures about 8 inches in diameter. I believe that FM...
There was a retired ham in Maryland that used to hand make an excellent tuned loop that he named the "Torus Tuner". He made 2 versions, one for MW and one for...
I am considering purchase of a Kaito KA-35 Loop Antenna. I have the KA-1103 receiver......its great! Has anyone purchased the KA-35? Can you give your...
Recently purchased a 381 pf variable capacitor to use when building a MW loop. Looking at the variable capacitor, with the turning shaft facing me, there are 2...
... Below ground operation sounds interesting .... I can't even hazard a guess hi hi ... Yes, this is of course the way you can 'boost' the signal input to an ...
Edit: I couldn't edit the previous post so I deleted it and republish it. I'm working on a project and it involves loop antennas. These are the preliminary...
Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement motor for my AEA Isoloop?? I bought the antenna last summer but the motor was seized and I'd like to...
I tried tuning up for the first time on my Cu loop and was able to get swr to 1.0 but never at my frequency of interest. I tried changing the tuning cap range....
After being off the air for 10 years or so, I put up a big (about 500') loop antenna hung in the trees at our new place in the boonies of northern Minnesota....
I have a new copper pipe loop, 3' dia octagon with an air variable cap. I want to set the loop to resonance prior to installing the gamma match. What is the...
Hello, the Wise ones! I sent for ferrite rods from LY2KW in Lithuania and received 48 of 10mm x 200 mm (3/8" x 8") rods. My question is: how to best construct...
The brazing material I'm planning to use is 56% silver and 22% copper. That should make for a high conductivity attach between the copper vanes and spacers...
I've been researching some ways to join my copper cap together and come across silver brazing. From what I've read so far it seems that 56% Silver, Cd free...
I have for sale an MFJ 1786 Loop Antenna for sale. Asking $100 plus actual shipping charges. It was on a vacation house for several months and worked fine....
Hi, what is the "L" configuration? having a hard time imagining what it could be thanks, Grant KT6L [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi, How do I know how many turns of wire do I need for my loop antenna? In case you need the dimensions it is going to be 11 11/16 inches wide and 13 3/4 Long....
When was that Heathkit Dipmeter sold? I am always interested in how long it took for the foam padding to turn to greasey tarry petroleum cheesecake. I scraped...
I built one of these long ago and sold it in a move, sad I hadn't kept it since then. Just found one in a used computer store yesterday! Everything there, even...
A few weeks ago I reported that the 8" pickup loop to my 30" receiving loop "had a life of its own". When the receiver was tuned to 17000-20000 khz the...
