Magnetic Loop Antenna Links
« on: January 30, 2016, 1918 UTC »
I plan to update this with more links as I find them. 
There are lots of cool websites with info on magnetic loops for transmitting:

1. This guy is Australian and has a big loop, he says it works great on 160m:

2. Here's a handy calculator:

3. And another loop website to help out with many ways of feeding it:

4. Here's a .PDF paper to get you jazzed that Chris shared earlier.

5. This one is made out of PEX aluminum water pipe and has an easy capacitor!

6. And this one has parallel loops that make it more efficient!

There's this one for Tx, designed by the same ham who made the plans I followed for my Rx loop.
