I was using my GE P-780 with a loop made by D.Schmarder {sp} on my

Radio Shack loop on the opposite side and tuned a little off the sweet
spot and then barely touched my bigger Penta-Loop and there it was
with nothing else in there.


You think all those loops were doing more enhancing the signal,
nulling the competition, or a combination of both?
In any case that's fun stuff playing with loops to dither reception,
I never used more than two at a time myself.

Greg. Did you tell where your receiver was located? I didn't know
Schmarder was selling loops. I bought some litz off of him. Does he
have a website?

I've seen Dave's collection of custom-made crystal radios and loops at
local hamfests. He's an excellent craftsman. He doesn't have a specific
"product line" - he just builds whatever strikes his fancy.

His web site has many project ideas, links to parts suppliers etc.
