MAGNETIC LOOP

In Amateur Radio Magazine March 2005, Peter Parker had an article on building a Multiband Magnetic Loop. I recently built one based on his design. With the variable condenser I was able to tune from 9.00 mz to 22.00 mx. This gave me 3 ham bands 10,14 and 21 mz. I have received S9 reports on 30 meters from VK2 and S7 on 20 meters from Europe. No radials and 1/2 a meter above ground.
