Is that loop antenna for MW too or just for SW? And I'm quite sure my hubby or
son could build one of those - are there directions to build one posted
anywhere? And how large is the whole thing?

Now I feel like a two year who is just FULL of questions :-)))

Thanks,

That one is for short-wave but he makes them for other bands as well. Yes
there is lot of info on building loops via the internet. Heres a few
articles to help the ant. builder:

I've been making some from PVC. I came up with one design which uses
all standard PVC parts, and is simple to put together. Bout like a
lego toy...
A bit less complex a frame than say a PVC octagon loop. Instead of
making a separate web page , I just made a big JPG and threw it on my
site. You can see it he
http://web.wt.net/~nm5k/links.htm
Scroll down to the "A simple PVC receiving loop design"...
I've got one in the room here that is 5 ft across, and about 43-44
inches a side as far as the tank coil. It is on a stand on the floor,
and is rotatable.
The one I have is even simplier than the drawing...Mine is just a 2
inch OD PVC mast, with a 3/4 inch ID- one inch OD PVC crossbar. Uses
only two PVC tee's.
Let me know if the drawing is hard to read...It's 800x600, and looks
ok here, but I'm on a 21 inch monitor...Not sure how it looks on
smaller displays...Should be ok though...Yea, the pix is kind of busy,
but I wanted to squeeze it all on one JPG... MK
