JK, RC and CM, I suspect that may be one reason that this Far-End Loaded AM/MW Coil may work is the fact that the RF Systems EMF Antenna is 'only' Sixteen Feet (16') Long; and the Two Inch to Three Inch (2"-3") Ferrite Rod at the End of the Wire Antenna Element does have some 'measurable effect' on improving the AM/MW Frequency Band performance of such a short Antenna. Yes, I was assuming you had a short antenna and wanted to load it. The reason for loading a short antenna is to increase its electrical length closer to resonance and the benefits are much more pronounced for transmitted signals. Most modern HF receivers have enough gain to make up for a less than optimum antenna. Loading a long wire antenna doesn't make much sense. -- 73, Cecil, W5DXP |
