yes you got it on the nose, I'm surprised so many people remember that
stuff, I had a directional radio finder on my first boat, I just found
out that the beacons still exist all along the coast at almost all the
inlets. plus we used to home in on AM broadcasts like 1520 AM or 670 AM
on the dial. I have a short wave radio so I thought it would be fun to
build a directional antenna. But this ancient technology does not seem to
have any "today's" directions. I went back to my oldest HAM BIBLE but its
a 1987 so its not much help. thanks Mike

MC - Not sure of your question.
!] Are you looking for information about the LF Beacons and the antennas
they used in the old days?
They weren't directional, but got beams by phasing several verticals.
Also modulation techniques were used for the A and N ranges.
2] Are you looking for data on how to build an antenna for DFing in the
LF band?
For this one I'd suggest you google loop stick antenna or Ferrite Core
Antenna. Like what were in the solid state raidos of old.
Good luck,
