These sites are oriented more towards the "ocotoloop" than the<BR>
multi-turn loop you are using, but might provide some food for<BR>
thought.<BR>
I have used them for the past eight years. At present I have a 10 foot<BR>
"octoloop" and a 16 turn remotely tuned loop ( using varactors ) and<BR>
switch back and forth. I find the "octoloop" to be trouble free here.<BR>
<BR>
The major advantage of the "octoloop" is that it tunes from approx 10 kHz to 500 kHz<BR>
allowing me to do lots of NDB work, and the 160-190 kHz and also the 137 kHz<BR>
band - without tuning - and they work prefectly.<BR>
I use the Burhans preamp and it is excellent - I have sent them across the<BR>
country ( even to Steve VE7SL )<BR>
Copied Steve every night on our 137 kHz trials, and also the New Zealand station.<BR>
<BR>
If you're interested, I have a 7 foot octoloop, which has been gathering dust<BR>
in the back shed for a year or so.... it has preamp and is ready to go. I can throw <BR>
it on top of the car and deliver if you like. It's for free! <BR>
My son is in Bayfield so it's also a good chance to visit - ! ! !<BR>
<BR>
Let me know<BR>
