Hello topbanders, I would like to be the thousandth who asks the same old question - do, in your experience, small coax loops work? Both K1ZM and ON4UN don't discard them in their books as useless, b
Pete, Yes, they DO work. How well they work compared to other RX antennas is another story. In my experience, a 5ft loop is adequate. Your transmit antenna might be coupling noise into the loop. Plac
I wrote an article on an improved feed system for coaxial loops in the Sept/Oct 2009 National Contest Journal. I should emphasize that my contribution is to the feed system, and I don't have a magic
I've used the 5 ft per side coax loop and added the 2.5 ft per coax loop for 80m while I was at it. Each loop was tuned separately and then "T" connected for a single coax run to rig where it went in
I would like to add my opinion here, for what it is worth. As I live on a small property, I am limited in choices for RX antennas. I have been using a 3 turn co-ax loop for some years now, and always
Hi Steve - I also made a 2 band shielded loop back in the 1980's. I recall discussing it with Doug DeMaw at the ARRL and he also told me a 2 band loop would not work but it did. http://members.cox.ne
