The Pixel Technologies PRO-1A Magnetic Receiving Loop was demonstrated at the Visalia DX Convention last month. It's about the same size as a circular or diamond shaped coax loop. It includes a pream
My reading of Baum's papers is that the so-called Moebius loop has 4 times the output impedance of a single turn loop and 1/4 of the bandwidth of a single turn loop. If the object is to get broadband
The question is: why a "Moebius" loop? Note 8 is about loops in general, and says nothing about Moebius loops. Virtually any loop design will have nulls broadside to the loop, and even Baum doesn't c

The only thing which would make this "better" than the usual mag loop is better balance - but W8JI has shown a single wire loop can be much easier to balance than the coax. Not sure how broad banded
I notice they repeat the incorrect assertion that these magnetic loops work by being sensitive to the "magnetic field" rather than the electric field and that has been long shown to be false - these

Andy. Again, it's the laws of physics which apply. The mag loop can only be sensitive go the magnetic field and less so to the E field only if it is very very close to noise source. That's just the w

Yes. To clarify, the magnetic field dominates in the near field of a current source, and the electric field dominates in the near field of a voltage source. In the far field the magnetic and electric
I have actually heard several people - some very experienced 160 DX'ers observe that the magnetic loop can null noise without facing the null to it by raising it's height. K2DSY said he found elevati
Hi folks This is a long and interesting thread and I would like to add some of my observations from the last 5 years using loaded loops on 160m in a suburban lot. SOURCE, begins at roughly one-sixth
