Re: [TowerTalk] DF Antenna

["K8RI on Tower Talk" <k8ri-tower@charter.net>]

I read you already have a different method in mind, but I used to do DFing 
as part of my job.
The loop antenna was several turns of insulated wire inside a copper tube 
with a tuning cap at the base.

The simplest method is to take a piece of 1/2 inch copper tubing long enough 
to make a loop about 16 inches in diameter.  You can play with the number of 
turns inside, but two is probably a good place to start.

This may be stretching "antennas" a bit but....    I'm in need of small 
"one-hand" carried portable antenna that can be used in the 3-4 MHz range to 
hunt down a persistent noise at my QTH.  I'd prefer to use it with my Davco 
DR-30 rather than buy a small portable SW radio.  Any design ideas?

Thanks, Joe k7mks
