[Elecraft] OT: possible ham operation in the region of 415-526.5 Khz

[Augie "Gus" Hansen]

I initially responded only to Sam's request for the 160/80m mag loop 
picture, but have had several direct requests also. So here is the 
reply for anyone else who may be interested.

Hi Sam,

Most of my articles are behind the "pay wall" on antenneX, so I 
cannot distribute them. But I uploaded a picture of the three-turn 
160/80 meter mag loop to the following antenneX page, which is 
freely viewable:

The VVC is in the box at the top along with the motor and limit 
switches. The control voltage is obtained from the small  box just 
above the bottom of the structural PVC frame. That box separates the 
DC motor-control voltage from the RF, passing the RF through a 
capacitor to the small driver loop. The DC goes up a twisted pair 
cable inside the vertical PVC support tube. The VVC handles up to 15 
KV at up to 65 amps.

I hope this helps,
Gus, KB0YH
