Perrier, You may have missed some bits. The plans are in the archives, or ask John, your list manager. The coax is 1/4" in diameter but doesn't have an RG designation on the cable. I used it indoors near a window because 60 KHz isn't greatly affected by wooden construction.
There is no resonating capacitor. That way lies phase angle variations with temperature. I used it with a receiver that had a 60 KHz crystal filter, no preamp. Tried a shielded loop in the attic (tinfoil and twisted bell wire) to a converted BC-454(?) TRF receiver with the IF cans resonated for 60 KHz. Was swamped by 61 KHz signal from nearby CRT monitors. My QTH is Minneapolis, MN, not that far from Fort Collins, CO.

Just 100 feet of RG-58 wound on a 4 foot diagonal PVC pipe frame, with the shield split at 50 feet, IIRC. Tried resonating it, got unstable results. <snip> Could you please elaborate on the construction details such as co-ax used, indoors or out, and type of tuning caps used, ect? What was the input amp used? I was planning on making that antenna but don't want to go to all the effort for a bust. My antenna would be outside and I plan on using some RG-6.
