Need some portable antenna ideas.
No slinkeys no tape measure.
I built a loop antenna today out of a 9" cardboard tube like a
sonotube. 24 turns of 16gauge wire and rang it with a 20-450pf
variable I had kicking around. Awsum signals. I'm going to continue
experimenting and put together a larger like 3 foot diameter loop and
maybe build in a preamp and a band switch. It's got to be done by the
end of the month for cross-country AM DXpedition. That and my Kaito
loop and a spool of wire should keep me with some good signals.
