I'm thinking about building a non-tunable compact loop for 40m (7040) using RG-8. If I have good success, I'll be making other loops for 20m and 30m (mono-band / tuned to the CW-QRP frequency). I need some help figuring out which toroid to buy to build a portable compact loop like is shown here:
http://www.qsl.net/aa5tb/loop.html It looks like I can buy the cable, toroid, and even the banana plug/bnc adapter at Ocean State Electronics. My only question is - which toroid core should I buy for this application? I've seen comments on the web about using a T-50-2 for the Rock Loop, and I've seen other vendors selling a T-50-6 which supposedly covers the entire HF band. But I cannot find either one at Ocean State Electronics. For 40m, should I buy a T-50-61? What about 30m? T-50-61 or -67? Thanks for your help, Daniel / AA0NI _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
