[Lowfer] Ferrite Loading Coil ?

[Peter Barick]

All, Warren,
I just came from that site! Nice picture of "the Core"! Has variometer too. Noticed the unloaded Q was 200.

Verticals...here, noise (sshhh!) isn't a problem. Plus they're omni-directional. Plus the top hats are bird magnets for nature
aficionados. And for those fixated winding coils -- "Abun-danza"!  Plus it werks here.

Thanks all, think I've got a grounding on ferrite .

Peter,

  DK5PT used a pot core ferrite loading coil for transmitting and varied 
the air gap of the core to fine-tune the inductance:

  However, verticals are rarely the best receiving antennas due to their very susceptibility to noise.
