I’m also embarking on my first magnetic loop this weekend. I will use copper tubing, however.

I designed the polar loop using coax with about 540 feet square. Use the shield. Connected to 450 ohm ladder line. Since the loop is about 100 ohms my balun is home made to match. it is very quite for 160 but during the summer it can have static on the antenna. Much better for winter. We used it in Alaska since the shielded coax ket swr from changing due to ice etc.

I have found that the antenna I use on 160 is very noisy on receive so am thinking of using a seperate antenna for receive…Thanks for showing me yours! 73 Jer

If you read video discription on right it is explained. I plan to put the loop on a rotor as soon as weather breaks. 73

I would like to hear your personal opinion about hits/misses. What’s in the box? Can you roate it for directivity?
Looks like a fun project.

How well do you get out with that setup? Talk any good distances?
