Giuseppe’s Homemade “Magic Tablet” Antenna System?
« on: November 19, 2021, 2019 UTC »
Another SWL'ing rip.   https://swling.com/blog/2021/11/giuseppes-homemade-magic-tablet-antenna-system/#comment-677623 

I made something like this from a godz-eye antenna, but mine is for just Medium Wave, but this dude made is switch from 40M, then 80M, and then 20M. Nice!!!! Granted, my Italian is non-existent, but the VID shows a lot.
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

Oh... Huh... Just did a search myself for that, and years ago, there were all sorts of God's-Eye loop antennas instructions out there. Huh... Not as much today, which is odd,   but here's a .PDF download of one that's essentially the same thing, except this dude tilted his 45 degrees to look like a square. Either way, the same.    http://167.250.5.172/docs/Radio/Antennas/Am_Loop_Antennas_2004.pdf

Oh... Here's my search from Startpage results,     https://startpage.com/sp/search   , when I typed-in    "homebrew am god's-eye antenna loop?"    I try to stay away from Google, when I can. (Hi-hi...) And, what a difference substituting that "z" for an "s" on god's. Anyway, hope that helps.
