"better" AM radio antennas ?
In article , Al Dykes wrote:
What commercial antennas or DIY plans exist for a loop AM antennas that are a step up from the 6 inch loop I'm using now. What are you looking for? Do you want directionality or sensitivity? It's hard to beat a long wire for sensitivity. It's hard to beat a loop for directionality. What is the 6-inch loop you are using now? A larger loop will tend to buy you more sensitivity but it remains very directional as long as it's smaller than a quarter-wave (which for AM is very large indeed), so you still have to swing it around. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
