Anders,

I just saw the two videos. Now that is very impressive. It's not even
tuned
either from what I can see. My pickup loop is like 6" in length also. Fun
stuff for sure


Lucky,

You are correct. The frame isn't tuned. I'm wondering if it's possible to
tune the pickup loop instead. Some sort of tuning would surely be
beneficial, but cutting the window frame is probably not the answer ;-)

Greg has made some nice pictures and explaining text as well, so if you
have
access to a soldering iron, it's fairly easy to build his loop.

I'm certainly going to give it a try next week or so, when my exams are
over.

Anders,

I think I once tuned the pickup loop and it worked to a degree. Not as well
as tuning the main loop but it gives you a little added edge. I have an
MFJ-959B model and it's a great little tuner. I like it. It's great for
older radios like the Yaseu Frg-7 and even the Lowe HF-150.

I wonder if Greg W tried hanging the pickup loop from the top and/or side of
the window frame. He may be suprised by the unexpected. I know I have with
radio experimentations. What doesn't work for almost everyone else might
work the best for you. What shouldn't work does etc.

Is his a shielded loop? Looks like one but he has the gap hidden by black
tape I think. Take a good look at the still picture he put up in the files
section. Mine is shielded.
