YODAR,

The "TRICK" to TV 'type' Coax Cable [Shielded] SWL Loop Antennas {RHF}
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/1626

I too tried to build a Coax Cable [Shielded] Loop Antenna
that was made of "TV type Coax" that had a 'Shield' made
of Foil and about 33% Braid. The Results were very poor.

Hummm... It *should* have worked just fine. Besides being lousy to
solder to, there is nothing wrong with a foil shield. Thats solid
coverage, and better than strands of wire. The coax shield for a SW or
MW loop should be fairly non critical. The only purpose is to ensure
balance. MK
