hi

was trying to build a loop antenna i can use to hunt down some
interference

seems it's pretty strong on 14.200mhz

i build a 2ft cross out of wood planning on feeding it w/ a short run
of rg58u into pl259


questions:

how many turns of wire do i need? (spool of 26ga insul/solid)

do I need any capacitors or resistors etc aat the feedpoint if so
what value??



thanks wasn't sure how to figure it out but i have to hunt down the
interference as it's accross 1-30mhz and s9

See http://www.vk1od.net/SmallUntunedSquareLoop/index.htm for some
ideas. There are other articles on the site discussing similar antennas,
their Antenna Factor, and measurements made with the antenna.
