Thanks for the input Christopher I am indeed determined to build one. I
don't want to build a tuning one though. I am more interested in a simple AM
Loop that just connects to my radio to pick up AM broadcast. These use to be
popular. I suppose it was when radios first started to come out. Anyways
like I said they eventually were replaced by internal Ferrite loopsticks. I
suppose people did not like these big ugly antennas on top of there radio. I
don't think these old AM Loops had Tuners. And I think they may have been
spiral wound. You connect the 2 wires from the antenna to the screw
terminals on the back of the radio. But in my case I would have to connect
an 1/8 plug to plug into my Radio. I have no idea what the size of the frame
would be? How long the wire would be? and how many turns around the frame to
make? I have searched Google and have not found what I am looking for there.
I have found a couple of books but can't afford the price tag at the moment.
I don't even know If the antenna I am looking for is even in the book. Here
is a link to a few I have found if anyone is curious.

If anyone else has any suggestions I am all ears. Or if you have any of
these books and could comment on it. I appreciate it.
Thank You Bill

Hello Bill,

Try -

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
