Hi Peter, LF,
 
is a specific type of wire recommended (or not recommended) for the coil?
 
Best regards
Daniele

Hi again Daniele,

I forgot some words about shielding.

Do not use solid sheet. I just built a small receiver for rtty at 147 kHz for weather report reception when sailing. Using a fine looking u-shaped copper shield the signal went down of some 10 dB even if spaced 4 cm apart from the rod. And it did not improve the SNR considerably.

Using an envelope from old SCSI flatline soldered together only at one side the SNR went up of >10 dB inside the house. The effect is incredible. My guess is that Eddy currents are responsible for this. So if possible shield your ferrite antenna coil by a "feathered", comb-like structure with multiple conductors running in parallel around the rod. They may overlap some cm if isolated. And in contrast to solid shielding distance doesn't matter.

Peter, df3lp
