SINGLE TURN LOOP V MULTI TURN LOOP

I HAVE BEEN TESTING A SINGLE TURN LOOP AGAINST A MULTI TURN LOOP AND I HAVE FOUND THE SINGLE TURN LOOP IS MUCH QUIETER THAN THE MULTI TURN LOOP AND MUCH LESS EUROPEAN SPLATTER FROM THE SINGLE TURN LOOP

I would have almost bet that the multi wound loop would be better. Thanks for the demo

@wa4aos hi with the resistance at the back of the single turn loop it reduces the euro stations which lets in the dx .. check out the rest of my videos for more results ... 73 david .. scotland

David ,I see you using now a var. cap. on the single loopantenna .What are the Ohm .Thanks

hi its a vairiable resistor i use dont know lowest value but max is around 1000 ohm i think.

[tvdxrools]

it is and it nulls out all the european splatter thanks for watching

WOW ! that is awesome you can hear the difference...like the way the single turn loop rejects Europe. Great Design mate cheers and beers Mark

i have put one up for africa will post results tonight ... cheers david

Have you ever tried a fractal antenna design that uses the Kock Snowflake fractal?

Now I know for sure that I am going with a Flag RX antenna. Great vids! See, you "can" teach an old HAM (well, a 34-year old HAM with 25-years with experience in SWLing) new tricks!

Your experiments attribute a lot to the DX, and your results are very very good. Is nt it an idea to publish a book or so with photographs about your antenna's, drawings and circuits, how you do that tuning, etc?
