[600MRG] Show and tell, Home Brew...

[Paul N. Gayet AA1SU]

Brian WA1ZMS,
Interesting coincidence.
I was just going thru my 600MRG Reflector Mail folder. I then added your email address to my address book (I only had your ARRL alias in there).
My mail program then dumped a few of your emails into a folder called Unread From Contacts.
I browsed thru them, and clicked on the link below.
The interesting coincidence is that a neighbor of mine dropped off this antenna to me as he was moving out on the neighborhood.
I wasn't sure what it was, but was certainly not going to turn down a free antenna.
The only difference is that mine has 28 turns, instead of 8 turns. It also does not have a LNA.
It needs some repair, but I have been using it to listen to shortwave in my basement from time to time.
Mine terminates to an alligator clip that I clip onto a telescoping antenna on my AOR AR8600.

I'll have to give it a try on 630 Meters soon.

  Regarding loop ants for RX......

  Please feel free to copy, steal or plagiarize this loop antenna design.
  It has worked very well for me, is simple to build and IMHO would be a
  very easy to build antenna and pre-amp to get more people involved in
  630m.

  For the legal issues.....I, WA1ZMS do here by grant full permission for
  this loop antenna and pre-amp design to be open to public publication
  so long as credit/blame is given to WA1ZMS for the design.

  My 2 cents....
