Small Loops

[Dale Parfitt-3]

 Hi Richard,
The small magnetic loop has a lower RDF (RX Directivity Factor- see the W8JI
site or ON4UN's LF book) than does the K9AY- so not as good using that
figure of merit: 7.2 vs 4.0
The Pixel and Wellbrook loops are nice I am sure, but you can build your own
shielded active broadband loop for $25 or so. See:

I have a 3' and a 7' version- pix upon request. Although they don't come
close to my Beverages, theyt are a nice RX antenna.
