Is that right, Gary?Hello Jorge, As long as 50" means 50 feet, and 40" means 40 feet, you will be fine with those lengths! I know that inches are not used in Spain, so I'm pretty sure that you meant "feet" instead of inches. Since FSL antennas have become very popular around the world I've tried to switch all my own measurements over to metric, but since American stores still sell measuring tools with the old system, it's a challenge! :-) Thanks for your photo-- it looks great! 73, Gary |

Only two stations strong enough to film. Both from Meyerton, South Africa 296km There were traces of 639 LSO Lancer's Gap and 972 BOT Sebele, but too weak and noisy to film.

Re: Building a FSL antenna
Jorge Garzón <iberiaDX@...>
Hi,
Well, now I am assembling my new FSL antenna. Finally will be 4" as the PVC tube that I found was 75mm wide. I changed slightly the supporting structure as I prefer to avoid PVC and favour wood. I will also use a wood circle base which is rotatable and can get the azimuth more easily. I am still waiting for the Litz wire. I ordered 50" and I will use 40" to be winded on the antenna. Is that right, Gary? I am attaching a picture to show how is going! 73 y buen DX -- Jorge Garzón (EB7EFA · EA1036 SWL)

Best Ever AM Log!
Paul B. Walker, Jr.
My best AM log ever: 7ZR 936kHz Hobart, Tasmania 8000 miles/13,000km away from McGrath, Alaska. 10KW/2 tower pattern, protecting a 936kHz in New Zealand. It's the only "ABC Local Radio" formatted station in the entire country on 936kHz. Heard on Wednesday March 24th. In my first clip, there's no mistaking those time pips and ornamental monumental Top Of Hour fanfare for anyone else. 1400UTC/6AM AK time audio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rmVXYj6tmkDfSqmXxg9NdcOGYOTMeDAG/view?usp=sharing 6 minutes later at 1406UTC/606AM AK Time, you hear a lady begin with the weather mentioning a flood warning and a river and at 24 seconds you hear Laura Beavis say, "ABC Radio Hobart" just to confirm if there was any doubt what I heard(and there was no doubt. Audio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18kq22kKzglmUUMVUgZ8BBW9KS |

Re: A double loop idea!
Gord Seifert
Thanks to you both! Have downloaded both the pdf of the article and the issue of 73. Found the article on the 160 meter transmitting antenna interesting too. Love loop antennas, and I hate rain and cold. If it can't fit in the attic it is out. Being a listener only it is not so important that I start climbing trees in the constant rain of the west coast around the US-Canada border. Regards, Gord |

Re: The curiosity bug has bitten me . . .

I have a couple of ferrite probes that CCrane sells and that they also include with their standalone Twin Coil loop. That probe works pretty good as a pickup for my FSL's. It still needs an additional amp to match the proximity output of an FSL/radio though.....
