External ferrite bar for 2-6 MHz?
Hi - I have a portable radio I am tinkering with, so far
superficially. It has a ferrite bar inside for AM and SW reception up to 6 MHz with no provision for an external antenna. The ferrite bar works great on AM, but as you might guess, the SW reception is short- changed. To start with, I was thinking of getting another ferrite bar about 10" long, wrapping a few turns of wire around it (probably try several turn values to see what works best), mounting it on the back of the radio broadside to the internal ferrite bar, and then hooking the leads up to my external wire antennas. Any reason why this would or would not work for better reception near 4-6 Mhz? Would an end-to-end configuration be better? Thanks, Bruce |
