Thanks Jim. Mozart is my favourite!

Thank you Ronald for the kind words!

+roogalater Thanks a lot for the kind and useful comments! Yes, your're right but, being just a beginner in amateur radio, this antenna is intended for DX purposes only...Thanks again and 73's!!!

Thank you Dieter for your kind words.

Thanks a lot Shortwave Listener!

I agree it is a good looking antenna, thanks for sharing, Love the music also. I am always building all sorts of contraptions for my receivers, and that tune that comes in at 6:46 I have heard here in England can you tell me what it is from... Anyway like I was saying my antenna's are a hit or miss as I have hundreds of feet of various size copper wire donated to me for some PC system work I did for my local cancer hospice " I found it in trash dumper " I have very little knowledge on antennas and find it very confusing. Thanks good upload I may try one of theses one day.

Thanks a lot 1963Dx !

It's not a video it's a slide show.

Thanks for the nice comment. I'm a kind of "tool-holic" hehe! About stain the bench...I don't think so, since that help me to remind that is a "Work-bench" and not just a nice "bench" to care of...so being as it is right now, a couple of scratches here and there, make it look better and "well used" than with a bright polished varnish coat!

Good luck! 73's!

Thanks a lot!!! 73's!!!

Nicolas Solop Hola Nicolas. Gracias por tu amable comentario! la verdad no existen planos para la construcción de la antena puesto que la única medida "crítica" es el perímetro del loop, que en mi caso es 10 pies (3 mts). Espero que mi respuesta sea de ayuda para tu proyecto y por favor déjame saber si te puedo ayudar en algo más. Saludos Y felices radio escuchas!

Juan David Barrada entiendo Juan!!! Solo dow consultas más, la medida del loop, los 10 pies, es el diámetro o el perímetro?la otra, Para que frecuencia sería esa medida?

Hola, si, como lo mencioné en mi primera respuesta, es 10 pies de perímetro...la frecuencia de resonancia dependerá de los valores máximos y mínimos de tu capacitor (una vez conozcas las características de tu capacitor, es fácil encontrar algunas calculadoras para este tipo de antenas online) Suerte con tu proyecto!

+horacio calle Nunca es tarde! Muchas gracias!

João Damasceno Hi. I'm not sure if this antenna is better than the "Long Wire Antenna" with a Balun, I haven't done a comparison between those two but I can tell you that this one works great! (By the way, I'm going to do the comparison exercise soon....you got me thinking about it!)

+Juan David Barrada what "range" this antenna have?

Variable Capacitor 365 pF www.amazon.com/Capacitor-Variable-Single-365-Rotation/dp/B00EQI9K9O

I've just found this info on the web and I've been doing some experiments about of it..."trial and error"...but I think that finally I found the right coupling for my radio. I'm attaching the link to the page where you can find some info on this matters and some also some drawings (unfortunatelly is "just a bit" of info): www.mds975.co.uk/Content/dxshtwave.html Sorry I couldn't help more. Please let me know if this way works for you.

Thanks a lot. I guess, I ve done well, but this make me clear, because I have to match better..... By the way:(It is usually much more effective to indirectly couple the aerial to the radio: Wind the last few centimeters of aerial wire into about 6 to 20 turns around a paper tube and slide this over the telescopic aerial and adjust its position along the rod until the best signal coupling is found. Sometimes even better results are obtained by connecting the free end of the wire to earth.) SI COMPREENDI BIEN: hay dos posibilidades : poner positivo(antenaI y tierra.. y la mejor es hacer la pequeña bobina, para poner al redor de la antena de la radio,sin conectar la parte que seria Tierra?? Es asi? DE TODAS MANERAS HE PROBADO de las dos formas. Lo que debo rever es la cantidad de vueltas de la pequena bobina. Gracias por la atencion y respuesta.

You are talking about "wire lenght" which corresponds to a wire antenna as its name indicates, this is an "active -tunable- loop antenna"...and please believe me when I tell you that I have awesome results! (As you can see and hear in the video!😉) Thank you for commenting my video. 73's!

@@juandavidbarrada Thanks for your answer, my comment is just to explain how an electromagnetic wave is handled and received on a transmission line, there are a lot of antena experiments, but for me doesn't work.

Please tell to person who told you to write this comment (whom I guess doesn't know how to read ... since all the technical specifications are in the video...BY WRITING!) that the only things that don't have an specifications (like the stand) can be solved with nothing else that a bit of imagination! in the future,PLEASE BE SURE YOU COMMENT and your THUMBS DOWN obeys to reality and not to your imagination!
