[UK-CONTEST] RX Coax Loops

[Ray Goff]

Chris,

When playing around with such things, an MFJ or similar antenna analyser is
invaluable - do you have access to one?

Also, how are you coupling to the loop, is there a diagram somewhere that I
can look at?

I've been messing around with a coax loop from 80m based on the 160m loop
that Bob GU4YOX is using but am not happy with it.

I have used 11ft of LDF2-50 in 3.5ft diameter circular loop. I started off
with a 400pF variable C to tune it but could detect no difference throughout
the span of the capacitor. I have added a 200pF fixed C but still no peak.

Any thoughts?
