MTM Scientific, Inc... Shortwave Loop Antenna Photos
Here are some photos of the Shortwave Loop Antenna assembly to help you with putting it together....
These photos detail the electrical connections to the Air Variable Capacitor. Note that one connection is made to the capacitor frame using a mounting screw, and the other connection is made to any of the 4 electrical terminals on the capacitor.
These photos detail the electrical connections to the pickup loop. Note that the super flexible coaxial cable is stripped back, split 2 ways and secured with nylon cable ties.
It is especially convenient to hang the Shortwave Loop Antenna from a hook to facilitate rotating the assembly for directional tuning.
