Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the compliment. I'm sure there are aspects I could have done better, but it was a fun project and I'll be making more of them. Texasrocker on the Phorum helped ensure I didn't screw it up too badly!

I agree with Scooby. I've tried several types of antennas (short of stringing a true long wire that I don't have space for) and this tuned loop is many times better than anything else I've tried. I had the same concerns as you, but figure most radios for sale either have an antenna built in or don't include one at all. The tuning aspect of the antenna actually adds more fun to the experience. Rather than simply tuning with the radio knob, it's great to hear the antenna lock in tight on a station you could faintly hear otherwise.

Anyway, good luck - happy to answer any questions if you have them.

Joe
