I was wondering if you have this drawing avalible in Inches? Also I am a little confused on the coax connection to the loop???

Would you have any pictures you could share??
I teach a few antenna classes a year, and this
would be a great club project. Please e-mail
me more information on this antenna, as I
would really like to develope this
into a Club Project.

Thanks!
Jimmy:)

Hi, Stan….

I live in a townhome and have a coaxial trap dipole in the attic. I just came across your message on the 32″ loop. Wonder if you are still using it and what you think of it. I’m looking for a second antenna in the attic.

Thanks…

I built a 32 inch loop that sits in my attic. It has been very successful on 20 meters. I live in a condo and it is the only antenna I can use. I added a multiturn pot to the motor driving the vacuum variable. It provides an indication of the loops’ frequency in the shack. Some fine tuning is necessary, but I would recommend some type of remote indicator. It’s a great help.

Used 50′ of 3/8 copper conduit, hung 20′ up from a tree. As good as a dipole on 75. Antenna tuner in the shack gives 70 kHz bandwidth. Pictires, details on the site http://x44.cc
