[MRCA] Magnetic Field Antenna Testing

[J Mcvey]

 Unfortunately, its a seasonal antenna that works best only on one day in April 
It has very narrow "season width" and is more difficult to construct than it seems.GL to all of the magnetic antenna experimenters in HI, hi, hi

Aloha Z,
 
I've  forwarded this to our 40meter.net webmaster for posting. Alot of the guys out here in the islands have magnetic loops, and I'm sure they'll marvel at your latest  break-through!

 The weather was very nice here in Chicken Land this week end so I had a chance to do some antenna testing out in the back yard and set up my portable Magnetic Field Antenna "MFA".  I've posted a diagram of my current "MFA" constructed of "Gutter Spout" which is easily obtained at your nearest home supply dealer. I realized that the radiation efficiency of this type of antenna is very low but the antenna is  easily set up and lends itself to portable operations. In addition  when operating in a high noise RF environment the antenna can be positioned for best reception to minimize noise. The hollow Gutter Spout material is easy to work  with and 90 degree bends are eliminated by use of standard fittings - -  however sheet metal screws are necessary at the joints of sections to ensure low current/voltage loss. An easy DIY project.
