All:
Working on a ferrite antenna.
Ordered parts from Ocean state electronics, ( via website)
(
http://www.oselectronics.com )
bought their 14-365 Pf variable capacitor and two ferrites:
one
FR4-33 #33 1/2" Diameter X 4" Long
and then
FERRITE "LOOP STIK" ANTENNA
band, 540KHz - 1600KHz. Measures 5/16" Dia. x 3 1/2" Long. Includes mounting
bracket and wiring diagram. Q=25, L=788µH.
LA-540...................
- Now, follow this :
I figure I'll use the 8 inch loopstick for the ' Primary" antenna. setting it
in a window..
Hook the " primary " up to the variable capacitor via about 10 feet of co-ax
wire.
- so I can Tune it from 10 + feet away.
THEN use the "FERRITE "LOOP STIK" ANTENNA"( part LA-540.)
as a " transmitter"
setting it on top of my sangean 606A;
- So the primary can be tuned from far away,
still usable via the capacitor and 10 + feet of wire..
- Any thoughts on this ? Sheer folley? Intellectual Property Theft? Genius ??
Happy as a Clam At High Tide..
