[IRCA] 16:1 Matching Transformer for "Superloop"

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've finally decided to try my hand at building a  "Superloop" antenna 
as described in the October 2009 issue of "Popular Communications" in an 
article by Bruce Conti.

In that article he mentions a 16:1 matching transformer made from a 
binocular ferrite core and 30 AWG wire. I've never had much luck at 
winding my own coils. For my previous "Flag" antenna, I used 16:1 
transformers from Mini-Circuits which performed well, but suffered many 
failures due our frequent and intense lightning storms here.

Bruce's article mentions that many amateurs are available to make these 
coils and easily found on the Internet--but I'm having no luck.

Does anyone out there know someone who makes great 16:1 transformers for 
Superloops and would be willing to wind two of them for me? Happy to pay 
for the service, and can send funds via PayPal or USPS money order.
Thanks!
