Anyone got any interesting DIY mag loop plans they can share? Or delta loop.

I’d like to try something new and I don’t want to buy one.

A magnetic loop is literally just a loop with a tuning capacitor at the feed point.

There should be several to be found on the ftroop website. ftroop.vk6flab.com

+1 for building instead of buying!

Magloop:

Delta loop:

  • for 6m, horizontal polarisation: feedpoint at the bottom, impedance match with quarter-wave length of 75Ohm TV coaxial cable.
  • for 30m, vertical polarisation: feedpoint on the side, connected by symmetric line, and a 1:4 current balun.

Sorry I don't find pics for the delta loops. Please ask if you want more details!
