Anybody have a source of information on LORAN - C antenna design? Googling
hasn't turned up much at all.

Hi George,

Use a CB whip with matching.

As Richard noted, MOST Loran C Antenna Systems, are comprised of a
108" CB Whip and an Active Antenna Preamp specifically designed
for the 100 Khz Frequency and 100 Hz Bandwidth of Loran C Signals.
Usually it doesn't take much except a good narrow Bandpass filter
in front of a couple of Cascode JFets, to get a reasonable signal
level for the Units receiver, and normally, Notch Filtering, is
done at the Main Receiver and Controlled by the microcontroller
that runs the receiver, for interfering Pulse Signals.

Hi George,

Can one use a ferrite antenna?

Hi Wim,

I presume you mean a loop antenna on a ferrite bar. I cannot see why
not.
