Loop on top of my garage
Faraday loop feed point
Testing lash up with caps removed from MFJunk atu
Caps inside box and connections soldered as much as my iron could give...
Specs: Main loop ~1.5m diameter, 470cm circumference. Faraday loop 94cm circumference. Power handling is more than expected ~75W (hot dry weather!). SSB was a lot more sparky when testing than CW, I found only very occasional flashover with 100W of CW on 80m.
Had some 20dB over 9 reports on 40m this evening, which is bloody great :)
The loop works on 80m, 40m and 30m.
