[RFI] 160m ARDF / fox hunt antenna

[K1TTT]

I use a simple loop.  A half dozen turns of leftover insulated copperweld
about 18" in diameter taped to a fiberglass electric fence rod.  Directly
attach rg-58 or 8x coax and wind as many turns as possible through a big
ferrite to make a choke for the feedline.  Gives a nice figure 8 pattern but
pretty low sensitivity.  maybe add a preamp for weaker signals?   maybe more
turns would be more efficient?

Subject: [RFI] 160m ARDF / fox hunt antenna

I need a hand held ARDF / fox hunting antenna for 160 meters. It has to be
small enough to be easily hand carried (preferably for long periods), cheap,
hopefully something I can throw together from assorted bits of junk and make
work acceptably. In other words, I need the impossible? I wish to use this
with my Alinco DJ-X11T receiver, rather than building a whole receiving
package. Any plans, links, ideas please?
