Default Narrow band antenna.

It should not be that bad. C0G dielectric (also called NPO)
capacitors have a _maximum_ temperature coefficient of 30ppm/C. The
diameter of the loop itself, and therefore its inductance, will change
with temperature in the same range, I believe. C0G capacitors,
especially surface mount type, also have extremely low effective
series resistance. I've found some C0G SMT caps that seem to have
very close to zero temperature coefficient--it varies from lot to lot,
apparently depending on the exact mix of the dielectric. What do you
suppose the temperature coefficient of the capacitance of varactor
diodes is? Note: 100ppm change in capacitance causes 50ppm change in
resonant frequency. That's 350Hz at 7MHz. You probably wouldn't even
notice that. It's only about 10 percent of the 3dB bandwidth of the
antenna.


Thank you very much. About about transformer (for connect coaxial
cable). I can use any ferrite with small permeabilty?
