[NJARC] Torustuner review

Mon Mar 14 14:35:42 EDT 2011

Gang,

For the broadcast band, a simple tuned loop will work better than almost 
any wire antenna.  That's why the industry moved to internal loops in 
broadcast sets in the late '30's.

Keep in mind that useful loop antennas are almost trivial to build:
