Hi Topbanders, Have you ever wanted to work Top Band DX but do not have the space to erect a suitable dipole or a vertical antenna with its associated radial system or perhaps you are plagued by so much local QRM that most of the signals you want to hear are buried in the noise? If this is you then read on!
I would like to highly recommend that you have a look at the following web site belonging to Steve, VK5SFA. In his web site he spells out in great detail his construction of a two turn transmitting magnetic loop antenna backing it up with lots of photos and technical data describing how he, in collaboration with a small group of Aussies, designed this antenna that he put together. Punch line - it really delivers the goods! <http://members.iinet.net.au/[email protected]> http://members.iinet.net.au/[email protected] Steve's email address is [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> My role in all of this has been as a very interested by-stander who has held a long term interest in Top Band but totally inactive apart from following this reflector. When I retire and become active I will face all the problems mentioned above because my QTH is a small city block - this TMLA is the answer to a prayer! In the meantime, this is too good an antenna to go undiscovered for too long! May I wish you all good DX, 73 George, VK5IT <http://members.iinet.net.au/[email protected]> http://members.iinet.net.au/[email protected] _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
