Year in Review 2020 Active Loop Antennas
During 2020 active loop antennas were my primary focus. Everything turned out pretty well with great performing wideband results. Read more
Endfire Loop Array Patterns on Medium Wave
My small changes to phasing creates remarkably different endfire loop array patterns. I can demonstrate these with empirical results and analytical modeling. Read more
Diversity Reception Investment
I thought I would take a step back today and review my diversity reception investment. Along the way, I will try to answer the question “is it worth it”? Read more
Trans-Pacific DX on Medium Wave – Get Up Early
After many years, I can finally receive Trans-Pacific DX on Medium Wave here in landlocked Calgary, western Canada. But I need to get up early for this! Read more
Wideband Receiving Loop Array Up and Running
It’s taken a while, but I finally have my wideband receiving loop array up and running. And, it works great for medium and short wave listening. Read more
Wideband Loop Helper Build
Overall, my wideband loop helper build was fast and simple. Everything was made easier with isolation milling a small PCB on my CNC. Read more
Wideband Loop Helper Design
Some online calculators and open source software made wideband loop helper design easy. Using a simulator also helps you make adjustments to use readily available components. Read more
Wideband Loop Helper Project
My wideband loop helper project should let you eliminate overload from strong nearby broadcasters while enjoying HF reception with most wideband software defined radio receivers. Read more
Wideband Loop Antenna Mounts on Thingiverse
I have published the final version of my wideband loop antenna mounts on Thingiverse. Anyone with a 3D printer can make these, cheap and cheerful. Read more
