Is that loop antenna for MW too or just for SW? And I'm quite sure my hubby or
son could build one of those - are there directions to build one posted
anywhere? And how large is the whole thing?

Now I feel like a two year who is just FULL of questions :-)))

Thanks,

I've been making some from PVC. I came up with one design which uses
all standard PVC parts, and is simple to put together. Bout like a
lego toy...
A bit less complex a frame than say a PVC octagon loop. Instead of
making a separate web page , I just made a big JPG and threw it on my
site. You can see it he

Scroll down to the "A simple PVC receiving loop design"...
I've got one in the room here that is 5 ft across, and about 43-44
inches a side as far as the tank coil. It is on a stand on the floor,
and is rotatable.
The one I have is even simplier than the drawing...Mine is just a 2
inch OD PVC mast, with a 3/4 inch ID- one inch OD PVC crossbar. Uses
only two PVC tee's.
Let me know if the drawing is hard to read...It's 800x600, and looks
ok here, but I'm on a 21 inch monitor...Not sure how it looks on
smaller displays...Should be ok though...Yea, the pix is kind of busy,
but I wanted to squeeze it all on one JPG... MK
