Hi Stefan, VLF,
I too built a similar preamp using the LT1028 but instead of a multiturn
loop, I used a fat monoturn loop and a toroid transformer.
The loop has a diameter of about 1 meter and is made of a piece of rigid
11 mm coaxial cable. It is very sensitive on 8970 Hz and definetely requires
a quiet location.
The toroid comes from a salvaged PSU. The loop is the primary winding while
the secondary was about 60 turns.
Using the same preamp/transformer and a 20 centimeter loop, I was able to
receive SAQ and RSDN20.
