First 30 Meter Antenna

My first 30 meter antenna is up and running.

Magnetic loop measurement – the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

A magnetic loop feed point is the method you use to apply radio power to the antenna.

Time has come to make some magnetic loop mounts.

Transforming a small copper coil into a large copper loop was easy with a home made jig.

This copper loop jig should help me create a perfect circle for my magnetic loop antenna.

Now that I have a butterfly capacitor working, it’s time to select my magnetic loop material.

My objective is to build a butterfly capacitor for a magnetic loop antenna.

My next project is to build a magnetic loop antenna.

Your location produces terrain effect on antenna performance. With a bit of planning or luck, you can take on the “big guns”.
