Default Simple AM Loop Antenna?

Hello Bill,

Try -
http://rffun.com/catalog/mwant/4316.html

Variable caps are getting hard to come by, so a $49.95 to $59.95 price
for the completed project seems very reasonable. I purchased one of
these for my step father and it works great. You probably will not need
a direct connection to the radio, just place the Select-A-Tenna next to
the radio.

If you are determined to build one (as I was), just google
"AM Loop Antenna"
Lots of great articles out there.

Regards,

Christopher Cox

Hello everyone I am looking for detailed plans for an AM loop. I will
be using it only for one frequency 1370AM so I dont want any tuners just a
simple AM Loop antenna for my AM radio. I will have to solder a 1/8 plug to
a 6-8 ft feedline to connect to my radio. It is a Kaito portable model
1103. I want to built this AM Loop cause I listen to talk radio alot and
the static and other distant stations sometimes make it hard. I have done
alot of looking around on google searches but have found no real detailed
plans I am not sure if I should go with edge wound or Spiral wound. Any
info you guys can give especially a detailed plan would be greatly
appreciated. or maybe there is a website I may not have seen you would like
to suggest. I am sure I have seen most of them atleast the most popular
ones. Anyways thanks in advance for any input Bill
