#43: Six foot AM loop antenna

Box loops are some of the oldest and simplest receiving antennas. They can give excellent performance and are easy to build; several commercial versions are on the market as well. In this video, we demonstrate a very quickly constructed square loop antenna, 6 foot on each side. There are many resources online for these antennas, including:
