Shown here is an small magnetic loop antenna ideal for pedestrian mobile. It does 15 through to 6 metres, giving a great range of frequencies for the summer sporadic-E season. In this video I talk about the antenna and demonstrate its use on six and ten metres. Photos and constructional information is provided at the end. A full constructional article also appears in Amateur Radio magazine for March 2013. In case anyone is wondering, I'm not in the kit or manufacturing business. This is something you MAKE yourself, and it's so quick, cheap and simple there's no excuse not to give it a go. UPDATE: This loop has now been rebuilt into a more efficient version with aluminium strip.
