Re: [IRCA] 9 Foot Longwave Box Loop (and other projects)

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Patrick,
 
Thanks for your suggestion.
 
I do plan to add a few more turns to the 490' of existing wire on the LW  
box loop frame, and get the coverage down to 150 kHz. Actually, I was pretty  
lucky to get the coverage where it ended up, on the first attempt. Using 
only  math to plan the LW windings after building the 10' medium wave box 
loop, it was  really a stab in the dark to make this LW version. So I certainly  
can't complain.
 
Yes, it would be interesting to compare this monster loop with other LW  
antennas, and I plan to check out some European DX this week. Unfortunately, 
I'm  not a very experienced LW DXer, so I have a lot to learn :>)
 
73, Gary

If you  could add a couple more wraps to drop it to 150 khz, you would
cover the  whole LW band, as the broadcasters start at 153 kHz and go up
to 279 kHz.  
It would be interesting to test that loop against other kinds  of
antennas. 

73,
