Great!!! You are inspiring me to built my own short-wave antenna.

Can you make this antenna with 1/2 meter loop?

It would be nice, if you spoke out about your video project. Seems many have their tongues locked up these days for some unknown reason.

Nice job. You might want to consider attaching a 6:1 vernier drive to that capacitor. It would give you a little more precision in the tuning.

Hey, thanks for subscribing! It seems we have lots of common interests.

That music is yuky

Thanks for the Mozart!

This a is a wrong way to build a short wave antena, you will never have a good signal, the short wave radios works on band wave lenghts of 60, 49 , 31, 25,19,16, 13 and 11 meters and in order to get a good reception the wire lenght must be designed at least to pick up a 1/2 wave lenght of the electromagnetic signal short wave; I have a ZENITH transoceanic radio fully restored wich has a very good reception stations from Cuba, Spain, Checoslovaquia, China, Rumania, USA, Francia, Brazil; I must tell that today there are few countries transmiting in short wave in comparation with the 40's, 50's, 60', 70's.

Nice article. How could we by using the same method make a AM/MV antenna?

Excellent video tutorial! Cool, I'm planning on building one soon for my Tecsun PL-310ET. I'm looking at your plans and also the instructions at www.kr1st.com/swlloop.htm to figure things out. What range variable capacitor should we use? Is the coupling loop electrically isolated from the main loop? Does it have to be at the side or can it be central of the main loop? Does it have to be 1/5th the size? Thanks.

Nice work. RRI has the best signal on SW +40 DB on my G5RV. Look forward to your next video.

Good video. Great music. But only 340 likes, I dont understand. What more do they want ? This is the best video that I have seen on how to make SW loop antenana. Keep up the good work. Dont give up.

no specs? how helpfull is that thumbs down

Hi..how many turns..in a idle valve and the air blend thanks..hola quisiera saber cuantas vueltas dar a la esprea de alta y al tornillo negro llamada air blend o purgador ya que no logro una. Buena carburación.saludos

Gran vídeo como siempre y gran sintonía radio Rumanía internacional

Muy buen trabajo. Felicidades. Por cierto se oye mejor ahí Radio Exterior de España que en Barcelona.

Thanks for subscribing to my channel, hope you enjoy your visits there. Interesting, I first saw this type of tethered flight as a young kid, about 50 years ago now! Did not know it is still practised! Nice field you are flying at, looks like it is built specially for this kind of flying! We flew on the town's cricket field which was ideal since it is an open field, about 100m diameter.

Try to connect this antenna to: 1. the crystal radio. 2. simple trf radio with 1 fet (2sk241, 2sk544, mpf102, bf998, etc)

Nice Video !

Debe ser mas emocionante en *vivo*

Us aliens have one of these On the planet Zorb.

THAT DENSE, SLOW, AND BORED ARE YOU, TO MAKE THE TESTS !!!! *I STAY ASLEEP,. WAITING FOR THE AUDIO OF THE RECEIVER !!!!* ZZZZZZZZZZZ.......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..... Z...ZZZZZZZZZ....ZZZZZZZZZZZZ...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....ZZZZZZZZZZ..

nice work. i have 2 questions though. is hollow copper the tube necessary or just wore will do ? and where you connect the 2 ends of the rf cable in radio ?

Why 10 feet?

Excelente , felicitaciones y gracias

Just getting back into the hobby with a new PL-680. I have to do something like this!

VIVAN LAS EMISORAS DE ONDA CORTA INTERNACIONAL!...EMISORAS Q SI LLEGAN AL MUNDO!...A MEJORAR LA ONDA CORTA, NO HAY NADA MEJOR Q LA ONDA CORTA PORQ ASI ESTAMOS BIEN INFORMADOS ...

Maybe you're on Receive Only..In which case my over verbose diatribe is a bit ridiculous but you might want to transmit someday. G3NBY

Also love the bass clarinet in your back ground music. The plugar flum shairy.

You should have left those 'vanes' alone and connected each end of the loop to the STATORS, totally ignoring the connection to the frame..ie the ROTORS You would then have had a most desirable 'split stator' tuning cap. Far more balanced. A few things:- It would have instantly halved the max (fully closed) capacity as you clearly seemed to have required. This would have reduced the range covered by the loop (so did your hacking out precious vanes) but also reduced the "sharpness" of the tuning which can be a bit vicious on loops. I see that yours has a reduction drive but t'aint always enough! It would also have removed the HIGH circulatory RF currents from passing through the wiper from the rotors to the frame, an adequate path for received sigs but quite resistive ( worse if old and dirty) and V. lossy for the high currents caused by transmitting with a very high Q loop. Oh Boy..They're high! I'm guessing a bit with the next one..It would probably (possibly) have increased the effective spacing of the tuning capacitor, making it a higher working voltage. This would reduce to an appreciable degree, the risk of flash over (These loops generate a whole lot of volts at their ends (When I was a smoker, I could draw off an arc and light a fag from mine!!!!) The 'split stator' configuration would possibly have increased the power rating of your Magloop before arcing over and preserved the original state of your very precious capacitor. Ya can take 'em off easily but ya cain't put 'em back on. Caps of this quality stopped being readily available years ago. Moral?..investigate more deeply before proceeding, especially when you intend to make a video to advise others! Good Luck & 73 G3NBY Not Born Yesterday

Muy bien y mejor con música clásica

excelente Gracias por compartir

very good job go ahead

Hi. I want to try this. I'm not sure how you have the joystick pot connected. Is it just the three leads from the pot going directly through the USB plug to the computer?

Hola Juan! Tendrás los planos para armarla? Ojalá me quedara un 10% de lo profesional que se ve la tuya!! Abrazo

Nice job! This is something anyone can build at low cost!!!

Video very nicely done my friend. Anyone should be able to build this loop using the video. Great Job, and I enjoyed watching. 73

Very instructive! That is the ID of Radio Romania. Beautiful job 73!

Wow! this looks amazing! thanks for making this tutorial, I´ve been looking for this quite a long now. I´ll try it out, thanks again! and I´m subscribing btw :)

what are the tuning knob specs big loop antenna side so I could complete my build

Una antena magnetica colocada paralela a tierra, es decir, horizontal, recibe bien señales polarizadas verticalmente (las de antenas normales verticales) y además en los 360º, y si se inclina pues bien señales que llegan desde el horizonte por edificio de edificios de enfrente. Si se coloca vertical el aro recibe bien las ondas polarizadas horizontalmente (pero con un azimut muy concreto como ocurre con las antenas de las radios transitor de ferrita normales y hay que girarla para apuntar a la emosora)

Very good choice of music. This was my first record as a kid in the early 1950's, when I build a Hi-Fi. No stereo in those days.

That's pretty cool. I have to build one.

felicitaciones aunque tarde

Do you have plans .l would like to make one please .

turn the volume up

The capacitor should not be in the loop, it disturbs the transmission.

Great results with the loop! I did notice that at about 2:35 when you try out the whip antenna on the Grundig set, you still have the switch set to EXT so it wouldn't work anyway. :O)

Juan, you say this is your second language, my friend your better at it than a lot of natural born speakers of it. Very good video, looking for your other ones Skip N7HSI
