"One of these days I'd like to build a large box loop or something that'sseveral feet in diameter. I may base it on one of the loops on Bruce Carter'swebsite, but would be open to other suggestions,

I thought about using varactors to remote tune a loop, but always wound up preferring to be right alongside it, so I could nudge it for that little bit of extra signal. I think it's all psychological.

Hi John and Allen, Congratulations on your logging of 756-Germany, John. It is a very rarevisitor here on the west coast, but always requires a serious external antenna,in addition to a very

Hi Jim! Yes, it is the old BAX-1. This whole project begain two years ago when i was able to snag an Eton E1 for $225 from the Circuit City melt down of November 2007. I was interested in the E1 not

Tony, Thanks for that other link. Yes, MW propagation is more interesting than HF IMO, and varies from one end of the band to the other. Probably not the best choice for broadcasting, but what did

It does not appear to be different than the funeral home obituary.But here is the link to the newspaper obituary for John

One of the things that used to be done in those air core loops was a basket weave using wooden slats to reduce that self capacitance. I used some extra slats from my wife's wooden blinds to make up

Here's another web site with info on that radio I just found for the guy who owns it. You can see the coils a little better in this one. http://www.oldradioworld.de/oe333.htm And if you speak German,

Thanks for that link! Those are "basket-weave" coils. The method allows high inductance while reducing self capacitance, which could turn the coil into a stand-alone resonant circuit. Doesn't hurt to

I'm totally sick of shoveling snow as we have almost 3 FEET on the ground here in central Delaware, so I spent time at the dials yesterday and was rewarded with a new UL country- Germany! 700 WDMV

Here's a website that has a photo of the radio in question. The Loewe 3NF tube was considered the world's first integrated circuit because they put resisters and capacitors inside the glass. The

Does anybody sell reprints of those original Proceedings? Some of that stuff may be dated, but it was all so well written and researched and sometimes old knowledge comes back to the forefront. It's a

Yea, mine was built for speed not beauty, but I used it for years to listen to the Phillies games in daylight here some 300 miles south of the transmitter. That's a much tougher task than just DXing,

I agree with Horacio. It would be beneficial to share John's knowledge with all radio hobbyist. Richard Allen 36°22'51"N/97°26'35"W (near Perry OK USA) SRF-T615 & PL-310 (barefoot)
