Ham Radio - 80 160 meter magnetic loop transmitting antenna

Описание к видео Ham Radio - 80 160 meter magnetic loop transmitting antenna

This is my 6 foot diameter magloop for 80 and 160 meters. I create a two turn outer loop to get down to 160 and it works very well. I checked in to a local 160 meter net and 4 out of 5 stations could hear me. Pretty neat for a 6ft antenna!
There have been a few questions about the capacitor I used. Measured on my old Heathkit RLC bridge, it looks to be around 20-700pf with about 1mm plate spacing. I've pushed it to 40 watts without an arc.

I also built a mini loop out of junkbox parts for fun. It's 1 foot square and works really well.
