Hi Simon, VE7SXS, in Terrace, BC, Canada. I am very close to the bottom of the Alaska panhandle.

That is a really helpful message; I wondered about the same thing. Sent from my iPad

OK Takis. I took a shot!

I would be happy to provide a good home.

I would second that. I do not believe magloops can be efficient. Some people need to use them because they are in restricted locations; some people use them because they are interesting. But they are

Can you tune up to see if you can receive a BC station? There is a God-botherer station at 7.385 that is very strong right now.

Well, keep listening. I will give another call on 7.142.

I will try that.

I will try that anyway.

I moved down to 7.1420, and that is currently clear. I will give you a shout with my call.

I think he has a Yagi so if you can’t hear him it’s no big deal; I can still call you if you want to tune to a clear frequency. My call is VE7SXS.

I don’t know, but that is a nice cap. I guess the crucial factor would be getting a true vacuum and maintaining it. That would be tough if you were running a shaft or some kind of drive mechanism into

You probably don’t need that kind of capacitor at 10 watts. You will still need to be careful, but it is unlikely a 10 watt loop will produce voltages that high. The best and cheapest solution is to g

I literally wrote the connections down on the back of an envelope. I will open up my radio and figure out what I did.

I made the connections from the BitxX40 to the Baofeng microphone without any modifications. It works perfectly, and I don’t know why anyone would go to the trouble of rewiring the mic if it weren’t a

As a marine engineer, you probably have a good head for math and calculation. I wish I did! Sent from my iPad

I don't know much about programming either, but this forum is a fantastic resource for people like us. There are people who do know about programming; I am certain your experience with RF design will

Sorry to hear about the lack of transmit, but your radio looks great! Good work. Sent from my iPad

I am running on battery power and I have clicks.
