    365pf Variable Capacitor

    Anyone got one of those once-ubiquitous 365pf variable caps from an old MF broadcast radio that they want to unload? Need one for a loop antenna project I'm working on.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Is it for a passive receive only loop or for qrp power?

    In other words, would a cheap polyester film (instead of air dielectric) like this be suitable?

    It's receive only so pretty much anything would work. In fact, you mentioning that reminds me I have a dead clock radio that I may be able to cannibalize.

    I got mine from an old clock radio.

    Problem was, it would only receive WWV. ;)
