Thanks for the info, Kevin.

What is a good variable capacitor to use with this coil? Any links would
be appreciated.

Hi Gary:

The only thing I can think of is where I took a 4" coil which was wound
for a crystal radio and connected it to a mini variable capacitor. It
provided a good little boost for its size, and the Litz coil and special
basket weave meant that the Q, or tuning sharpness, was very high. The
seller on ebay currently has a similar coil (see ebay item
330448576470).

Hope this helps - Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I recall that you built a very small loop antenna of about 4"-5"

diameter.

Is there an article describing the construction of this antenna? I
couldn't find it on www.dxer.ca with all of the other ULR antenna

files.

Thanks,
Gary
