*REUPLOAD* - Sorry folks, but YouTube decided to fill all the blank spaces with static in the last go-round. Call me picky, but I just couldn't stand it so here's a second go. If you had commented on the 1st upload - THANKS! I wish there was a way to preserve that kind of thing here. I built a loop antenna designed to boost the reception of AM broadcast radio. It's simple construction, requiring only some PVC pipe, speaker wire, and a variable capacitor scrounged from an old radio. The results are pretty good, even through the weather decided not to cooperate on filming day. Here's the link to the on-line loop calculation I used: https://earmark.net/gesr/loop/joe_carr_calc.htm
