Small large band RX loops are commercially available, but freight
costs makes them prohibitive expensive.
You may approach it with kits, too.

Depending on the size of your lot you could also try a very short beverage
antenna. I use a 160 foot unterminated wire through a 6:1 binocular core
transformer and feed it with 75 ohm coax. It is up about 4 feet off the
ground. It works surprisingly well on 20 through 10 meters. It's

I'm using a Pixel Loop as a receiving antenna to supplement my main t/r
antenna, which is an R8 vertical. The only 'garden' I have is a rooftop about
35 m above ground. The antenna is about 6 m from the vertical and definitely
has a better s/n ratio. I use it on HF bands, sometimes by itself

experience of using active loop antennas as receiving antennas to lower the
noise floor. I was looking at Wellbrook's Website this

Hi Paul,
A lot of K3 owners are using the Pixel Technologies loop antenna. I'm
pleased with mine in comparison to my SteppIR vertical antenna on 80 and 40
meters. On 160 meters I have a relatively quiet dipole but I find the loop
