This is the introduction to the DIY Magnetic Loop Antenna Build Series learning series collaboration sponsored by Chameleon Antenna. Chameleon Antenna was kind enough to provide their new starter kit making this series possible.

In this series we will show the operator how to use the DIY Magnetic Loop Antenna starter kit to build their own magloop antenna, according to their budget, their own requirements, their own specifications. I'm also new to the Starter Kit, and have only once built a 6 meter magnetic loop antenna. So we are all kind of new to this.
Getting Started - First thing you'll need to do is join the DIY Magnetic Loop Antenna Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/DIYLOOP/ - Second, get yourself the Starter Kit from Chameleon Antenna ( http://chameleonantenna.com/ACCESSORIES/ACCESSORIES.html ) - Next read the the OH8STN blog post which outlines his build plans for the series. You can find that blog here ( http://www.survivaltechnology.net/magnetic-loop-antenna-builders-buying-or-building-it-yourself/ )
- If you're not already a subscriber, subscribe to OH8STN at the SurvivalTech Nord Youtube channel ( www.youtube.com/user/survivaltecheu )
The first video should be out in late January. New videos will be posted in the DIY Magnetic Loop antenna facebook group. I'll also spend time to provide help and feedback in the DIY Magnetic Loop antenna facebook group to help you with your own project.
Magnetic Loop antennas for amateur radio are increasing in popularity these days. The light weight, low noise and easy deployment characteristics of a magnetic loop antenna make them a popular choice for HOA restricted Ham radio operators, or for anyone who can't or doesn't want to deploy traditional supported whip, dipole or wires type antennas.
Some details about the kit:
1 X PRE-ASSEMBLED CAPACITOR
600 Vrms MAX
12.5 pF MIN - 432.5 pF MAX PER SECTION
2 SECTIONS TOTAL
6:1 DRIVE (3 TURNS MIN TO MAX) INSTALLED
TWO WIRES PRE-SOLDERED WITH TERMINALS
CAPACITOR INSTALLED ON A PRE-DRILLED MOUNTING PLATE
KNOB INSTALLED
1 X 12' LMR-400 4 X SILVER PLATED PL-259 2 X SO-239
