WALLLOOP ANTENNA-Simple Homemade Project

by kc4mcq | Posted on


 Thank to Paul (OM0ET) for this simple, "Wallloop Antenna" that works with transmitters, receivers, and WSPR.  The antenna covers 10 mHz through 29 mHz, and is useful for those living in deed-restricted homes, apartments, and condominiums.

Paul takes us step-by-step through the entire design, building, and operational aspects of this handy antenna.

Here are some comments from Paul (OM0ET):

WALLOOP is an indoor Magloop Antenna intended for use with receivers, transmitters, WSPR devices atc. Antenna is fixed on the wall and is easy to tune. Works fine from 10MHz to 29MHz. Less sensitive to local noise than traditional whip antennas or wires. Extra small dimensions. openWSPR Project: https://remoteqth.com/openWSPR.php openWSPR Video:    • OpenWSPR - Mini WSPR Standalone Recei...   WSPR Network Map: https://www.wsprnet.org/drupal/wsprne...
