Building a Double Coax MagLoop Part 2, why part two because I have a Air spaced Capacitor. So this upload is all about the remaking of the double loop using plumbs plastic pipe. it is a simple job but you will need some spacers and a lot of time to get it right. there is NO set diameter for the loops as its a factor of 10th wavelength or there abouts...I decided on 75cm in diameter and ended up with 74cm but it still works so!!! Parts: 6M of ridged Coax ( something like Andrew Heliax) 15mm 4 spacers (I used PVC Pipe) 2.4M 50mm plastic plumbers pipe 50cm 40mm plastic plumbers pipe Variable Air Capacitor to finish the job Special thanks to Andy M0JLY and Chris M1BZN To get notified of the next upload .click that bell and subscribe..
