[Elecraft] Apartment Antennas Magnetic loops

[jay Miller]

Take a look at the web information about construction of "true Magnetic loop
antennas."

 

I have one made from 1" (1.125" OD) copper pluming pipe and 45 degree elbows
and tuned with a vacuum variable cap. I use it when I am in temporary
lodging during extended out-of-state contracts. It performs very well and
can be camouflaged on a balcony with the plastic vines and flowers .  I also
have a Little Tarheal II mounted on a heavy duty stage speaker tripod with
six 25' steel measuring tapes as pull-out radials.

 

When pressed because of antenna restrictions or logistics, hams will try to
load a strand os wet spaghetti!
