[Elecraft] magnetic loop antennas

[Bill Blomgren]

I saw the great writeup on the magnetic loop antenna and the inventive High 
Voltage capacitor for tuning the thing.  I'm looking at one of them strictly 
because I'm stuck in an apartment.

The fact it should be good for 100 watts is perfect for what I'm looking at 
buying.

I'm just wondering about the copper pipe used for the outer loop... I 
spotted some very reasonably priced flexible conduit that could be used for 
the "loop" proper.  Do what is necessary to bond the capacitor into the rig, 
and it would appear to be a reasonable alternative to the rather pricy 
copper pipe. (They want your first born here for that, and the thieves are 
busy collecting anything that isn't nailed down.

Thoughts on that for its larger diameter, which should help with the 
coupling to the rest of the world...
