MAGNETIC LOOP FOR 160M

Tuning capacitor and section of 160m-loop
(7/8" Cellflex-Cable, 2.8m diameter)

The loop is suspended under the roofspars, sloping 30° to the south

Coupling loop with no galvanic connection to the magnetic loop

Calculated values (Program HB9ABX)

Real values measured with MiniVNA
(note bandwidth of 2200Hz and high Q !)

Capacitor, 500pF ceramic (8kV) in parallel with 360pF variable (6kV)
