Hi: Yup I noticed this message just before Kick off so I thought I'd give it a try :P At 12:00 AM central I heard a few sweep tones ,my guess was the start of the test ? Then at 12:29 AM I heard more

Thanks for the reply : Yup I finally got that figured out after several hours of Regret ? and the radio got here 3 days after the tassle thingy . So far it seems good on SW at least around the 5000"s

Hi Anyone have one of these and who can I trust to get one from ? I ordered one from china ,package arrived today with some kind of a red thing made from silk thread i think ? tree ornament ? I always

Thanks Gary : BTW i don't feel like anyone was giving me grief about these new loop's ,And honestly my goal was just to see if there was any advantage to the basket weave design that I had been thinki

Hi : Sry i cant be more help here ? The number of winding's will depend on the value of capacitor you use and what Frequencies it will tune. Dean W.

Hi Bill; Nope the nulls are very sharp, in fact much sharper than my regularly wound FSL's . as far as a distorted pattern I haven't seen that . These loops have a figure -of -eight pattern ,gain is i

Hi: By drilling a hole in the center of the ring (that's why i used plastic) and if needed a little glue. Dean W.

Using the smaller loop as a noise antenna completely gets rid of the house noise /hash. This is a Huge advantage for me as I can DX in my home again :P Dean W.

So what's next in the project Dept. ?? Yup you guessed it ! BIGGER :P Made with a ring cut from a 8 1/2 inch water pipe ,and 29 Ferrite 8x80 mm rods then wound with 1200/46 litz ; This loop gives even

hi ;

As far as I know this is the first time Ferrite has been used in a spider web coil ? Dean

A little more info: Spider weave coils or basket weave coils are very high Q that's why the crystal set radio builders use them .Combine a high Q tuning cap (ceramic insulators) and this loop has very

Hi : The length will depend on what value of capacitor your going to use but these loops have been around 60 ft of litz. the count 1200/660/275 etc. isn't so important as the AWG ,46 is best for MW. D

Because of the rising cost in Ferrite and Litz wire I have been thinking for some time about building a FSL that uses less . It seemed to me that the wire part of the FSL is mostly fixed ,so maybe les

Hi: I was just thinking ; I"ve have made a dirty- lash-up coupling loop for another project ,this is the first attempt that i have made and i want to get it right ,,but i was thinking is there a relat

Hi : Well i only have 2 radio's to tell you about so far (well i have several but just the 2 i have been testing with ). Tecsun PL 600 ,this set has been my constant companion for FSL antennas and rou

Hi Michael : At this point I'd be just guessing,all my building has been focused on MW and below ,, but it should be possible to make a FSL that tunes those freq"s? Surely some one else has more exper

Hi: Phil , as a matter of fact that was going to be my next experiment I have the AN 200 that i can sacrifice . hopefully soon I'll get to it ? Dean
