Thanks Kevin for the interesting plans.  I'm not too technical so I may
never build one but I like to read about things like this and wonder.
Question:  Directionality - I had an old Sanserino box loop.  That was
bi-directional to the sides.  How directional is this, or is it
omnidirectional?  If I wanted to hook this loop up to the antenna
terminals on a receiver (instead of using the proximity coupling
technique), how would I do that? 

I also saw plans online for a Slinky loop, that uses 4 slinky's.  It is
unidirectional (like a Ewe) to the coax side and nulls to the pot side.
I daydreamed of mounting the slinky's on a piece of plywood to make it
portable and have hinged pieces to come out and stand it up.

Dreamin' on in Indy,

Dave

Hi all:

Just published on the DXer.ca web site are the detailed plans for The
Crate Loop, a quick, cheap and easy way to make a very capable passive
loop antenna which far exceeds the capabilities of the Terk,
Select-A-Tenna and other similar loops.  I created it to make a loop
that
would be effective with the Eton e100 Slider, but it is a killer loop
for
any portable radio or desktop ferrite loop like the Quantum Loop.
