  *This is the Loop Antenna Group to Ask Your Questions, Get Answers and Information about Loop Antennas for improved your Radio Listening and Enjoyment.* This is your "HOW TO" Loop Antenna Forum to : Get Information, Plan, Design and Build Loop Antennas for both Radio Reception and Transmission. Air loops, magnetic loops, ferrite loops, shielded, unshielded, SLF to any frequency you can make a loop antenna for. Loop antennas are used to reduce interference or can be used as compact antennas or for radio direction finding (RDF). Post Your Question Here! To Get Needed Information and Opinions about a Commercial "Ready-Made" Loop Antenna or help with a home-made loop. Discussion of this Group is focused on the subject of Loop Antennas. All types of Loop Antennas including Ferrite Rod Loop Antennas; Air-Core Loop Antennas, Shielded Coax Cable Loop Antennas; all types of loop antennas. Loop Antennas for All Bands : SLF, VLF, LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, SHF etc. Longwave, Medium Wave (AM/MW/BCB), Shortwave and more. The Loop Antenna Group is here for you to : Post Messages, Links, Photo/Images, Files, etc. Please write a good description of Photos, Files and Links when you post them to share with other members of the Group.

  
  

  Several KiWi owners on there, and loop PCB's are often available at decent prices.

  It's where all the kool kids hang out :-)

  During my daily internet searches for hobby-relevant news,  I came across a blog by a Japanese SWL where there was a report about the BCL-Loop11. According to the Japanese SWL , this loop amplifier- called BCL-Loop11- produced good reception results.  Since this blog was in Japanese, the Google-translation resulted in a very strange-sounding text.

  
  

  Personally, as guidance, I wouldn't pay more than approx £100 GBP / 120 Euro or US Dollar for a commercial loop. Beware of Chinese made loops, they are of questionable quality and the performance is unpredictable.

  Some of my past experiments with active antennas.
