Made one of these Loop antenna's way back in around 1960. We used to use it for direction finding in rabbit hunts. Flip them horizontal, and you have a horizontal omni directional antenna. Wish I had my old one to use today. If you use it on 2 meters or other bands ( smaller size for VHF and uhf ) you can also add a vertical reflector element which will give you a sharper null in the direction of the station you are trying to DF. Mount if with a beam ant, and you can target your signal perfect

Nice videos Bob. Have you ever made a magnetic loop for 80 meters? I was looking for something that wasn't real real noisy and wasn't a real big antenna. For receive on 160 and 80.

Crafty tuning cap idea! Looks very professional.

Terry, this one works great on 17M, see the next video. Due to the characteristics of this type of antenna, it will even work better on 15, 12 and 10 respectively and slightly less efficient on 20M.

Thanks, your antenna is now on the bench.
