Magic Loop Antenna Idea - Advice?
#5

Hey Texasrocker,

Thanks for responding. I actually had read your thread in the Bar & Grill and, well, I'm just going to say it -- I completely understand how to construct the antenna from a wood and winding standpoint, but feel too technically ignorant to understand the part about the addition of a proper tuning condensor, correct terminal strip connection, adjusting the condensor to match up with the radio's, etc, etc... I understand the concept and why for each aspect, but shy'd away from tackling it - enen though I'd like to. Can it be any condensor off any old radio? Same question about the terminal strip.

I'd really like to build one of these and maybe should just jump in and tackle it. I tend to worry a little too much about making mistakes... Icon_redface
