[Lowfer] A really simple receiving(?) loop

I'll bring the good stuff with me when I go up there on the holiday weekend.
Maybe he might put a signal on the loop.

Hi Lyle,

This is an excellent job of presenting your receiving loop! You are
dangerously close to a transmitting loop - in reverse. So be careful - the
desire to connect a simple 1W Lyle-type Lowfer transmitter could get the
better of you! <G>

BTW: Suggest using a Mica or polystyrene capacitors to increase the Loop Q
and gain some more signal (transmitting efficiency too <G>). Also, you would
reduce the temperature sensitivity of the resonant point.

Will be watching the band for a second signal coming from your neck of the
woods!
