I built Ralph burhans preamp and a 8' version of the
shielded loop using 3/4" hardline a year or two after his
article. It has been in service since that time with the
only problem being the J310 fet knocked out by lightning.
It was built using G-10 glass perfboard has performed
well. I would like to build another larger loop using a
similiar design and was delighted to find the reference to
the original articles since I lost my original copy of the
lowfer. The one thing missing is the values for the trap.
I think there was either a curve or formula to determine
the values of inductance/capacitance for a given frequency
(some local obnoxious am station).
Would anyone happen to have that information handy?
Thanks in advance,
