Although this online calculator is intended to assist with designing and building homemade, ham radio loop antennas for use in the HF bands, magnetic antennas have been constructed that function in the VHF or even the UHF frequencies. The most common material for home building small ham radio loop antennas is common copper plumbing pipe.This calculator enables you to test the design of an octagonal loop antenna and to answer "what if" questions until you arrive at a design that meets your needs without a lot of experience in electronics.

Magnetic loop stepper motor controller yagi ham radio PAØKV Power supply EP-925. Magnetic Loop - Software September 2015 The Loop is working fine, but two things are bothering me. 1- The loop was calculated to have a range from 160 to 40 meter.

Unfortunately the loop can't be tuned to 40m. Too much 'L'. 2- The tuning with a DC motor and some up and down buttons is a hassle. To solve problem 1. the loop has to be made smaller. To solve problem 2. I started searching the web for 'off the shell' stepper motor controllers. But I found a board called "Motor Hawk" which has USB control and is delivered with a dll for all the actions towards a stepper motor.

Here the small controller board, developed and sold by PC-Control in the UK. Here the updated vacuum C control with the stepper motor. It's a lot simplified.

Well, not quite. The weight of the vacuum cap with mounting plate, motor drive, etc. was too much for this Y-construction.

Matt Roberts — matt-at-kk5jy-dot-net Updated: 2021-01-19 Introduction Of the many different antenna projects I have built for HF, the most interesting and rewarding project was the small transmitting loop.

Small Transmitting Loop Project

After consulting many of the available Internet sources, and by combining ideas, I was able to assemble an antenna that performed well, even under poor band conditions. The experience was so much fun that I built several different ones, all described below. The Cycloid Dipole at the WA7X Beacon.

Пару месяцев назад мне ко мне попала антенна ALEXLOOP от PY1AHD. Loop Antenna Is Portable. We don’t know if [OH8STN] has a military background, but we suspect he might since his recent post is about a “DIY Man Portable Magnetic Loop Antenna.” “Man-portable” is usually a military designation, and — we presume — he wouldn’t object to a woman transporting it either. [OH8STN] started with a Chameleon antenna starter kit. This costs about $100 and is primarily a suitable variable capacitor with a 6:1 reduction drive premounted and soldered.

Of course, you could source your own, but finding variable capacitors that can handle transmit duty (admittedly, these can apparently handle about 10 W continuous or 25 W on single sideband) can be tricky, especially these days. Although he started with a kit, he did modify the antenna to switch between two different sets of ham radio bands. Remote tuning for Magnetic Loop (ALEXLOOP) antenna by android app via bluetooth. 3D Printing – K1FM.us. I really, really like magnetic loops. After making a bit of a splash with at the Dayton Hamvention and publishing how to make your own on QST I decided to improve the design a bit more, so here I am with the latest iteration of the K1FM Magnetic Loop. The new design improves the older one in a few key aspects: – Entirely 3D printed– Readily available, made in the USA variable capacitor– Easy to assemble Basic geometry and main electrical characteristics remain unchanged:– 4o to 10 meters– 125 inches radiator– 165pF variable capacitor (dual gang series)– QRP power (it actually can handle a lot more but, as you know, using a magnetic loop in close proximity with more than a few Watt is against FCC guidelines and potentially dangerous.

Don’t do that) The new enclosure requires no rework in order to be mounted. Www.ve1zac.com/A New Homebrew Magnetic Receive Loop at VE1ZAC.htm. A New Homebrew Magnetic Receive Loop at VE1ZAC October 2013 On my list of new antennas to experiment with is a magnetic loop with a broadband current amplifier in lieu of the usual resonating components. One can buy a product like this from Wellbrook , such as their ALA1530 series loops and Pixel Technologies and their AM-2 loop. Active antennas constructed by other hams using AAA-1. DIY: How to build a Noise-Cancelling Passive Loop (NCPL) antenna. I’ve gotten an number of inquiries from SWLing Post readers asking for a step-by-step guide to building the passive loop antenna I’ve mentioned in a number of previous posts. This antenna is the homebrew version of the commercially-available Airspy Youloop. It works a treat.

And, yes, folks…it’s fun to build.

For Small Magnetic Transmitting Loop Antennas Matt Roberts - matt-at-kk5jy-dot-net Updated: 2016-01-12 Introduction Small transmitting loop antennas are becoming increasingly popular. Their performance is quite high considering their physical size, and such antennas have proven successful in some of my recent experiments. For contesting operations, particularly when working "search and pounce", it can be quite a challenge to stay on top of the antenna tuning, since the VFO frequency changes minute-by-minute.
