So what kind of antenna do you think this rectangle aluminum frame makes?
What could it be compared to?


It would be some strange sort of untuned loop antenna. Actually you could
take a look at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortwave-SWL-Antenna/ - a
guy
from Finland (Greg W) has made use of a window frame as well. He made a
small (6") pickup loop from coax cable and uses this with excellent
results
from 9 to 17 MHz. He has uploaded a video showing the difference between a
random wire and his "loop" - impressive.

Anders,

I just saw the two videos. Now that is very impressive. It's not even tuned
either from what I can see. My pickup loop is like 6" in length also. Fun
stuff for sure
