Re: [IRCA] Antenna Projects (Crate Loop)

Hi Chris - I had asked about "direct coupling" of the Crate Loop to a
receiver's antenna terminals and Kevin graciously replied and mentioned
it needing a "sense coil" (as you also noted).  He stated that he may
have to try that in the future.  This seems to be one of the easiest
loop plans that I have seen and maybe there is hope for me - a "tech
dummy."

The Crate Loop looks like a great project and I'm going to start
building
one this weekend to use with a Sony ICF-SW7600GR (light, but not
ultra-light) and perhaps with the Drake R8 (using a pick-up turn of
wire).
The only problem here is the computer hash (5 computers at this QTH).

The helically-wound vertical posted by Craig Healy may be the answer to
the
computer noise. The plan is to build a scaled-down version to go next to
the
computer in the shack as a noise sense antenna and attempt to phase out
some
of the hash.

Thanks guys for the great ideas/designs and for posting them! 73.
