Valentino’s homebrew ferrite sheet antenna.<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> conttributor,\u00a0Valentino Barbi (I4BBO) who writes detailing a novel approach to FSL antenna design.<\/p>\n

Please note that I translated Valentino’s message from Italian to English via Google translate so please forgive any errors. Valentino writes:<\/p>\n

FSL antenna radio enthusiasts typically use numerous ferrite bars with high cost, weight and scarcity,<\/p>\n

Ukrainian ferrite bar producers have now finished stocks and have raised their prices.<\/p>\n

Normally you use this site to build FSL antennas:
\nhttp:\/\/www.am-dx.com\/antennas\/FSL%20Antenna%20Design%20Optimization.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve been experimenting with a new antenna design for about 10 days comparing it with a classic FSL with 20 ferrite bars.<\/p>\n

Listening to the audio signals are the same, only instrumentally the antenna FSL in ferrite film
\nLoses -2dB.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The construction is very simple in that the two ends overlap 5 mm.<\/p>\n
