[R-390] Broadband Loop RX Antenna

[Gary Smith]

Hi Tom,

I'm very interested in one of the kits with the case.  Please contact me directly at wa1tjb at yahoo.com and let me know how to pay.

Tom,

Every time I even think about trying something along this line of thought, I get a very "itchy" feeling.

The reason is that my attic has somewhere around 18" to 24" of blown in fiberglass insulation!

It is even stapled on the cover that accesses the attic.

Now if I could only figure out a method to avoid all contact with that stuff.

It was already about 6" to 9" deep when we moved in in 1988.  We added more to reduce the insane electric bill.

I need something to be able to reach up to the rafters remotely.

I've done a couple of loop antennas that were even smaller, only they had no amplifier.  It looks fairly simply, and perhaps it will stimulate some thought as to how to get one up there.

I wonder if an RME-DB-23a would be of use?
