Dear Thomas,<\/p>\n

I’m Giuseppe Morl\u00e8 iz0gzw from central Italy on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Formia.<\/p>\n

I am sending you this umpteenth project of mine built with poor materials…it is a test bench, loops \/ capacitors to find the best tuning.<\/p>\n

The frame is a shoe rack in beech wood, very light, to take anywhere or to try out at home.
\nOn the frame, there are 4 different loops of different sizes and 3 variable capacitors with different capacities. Only one signal transfer link to the receiver for all loops.<\/p>\n

With alligator plugs I can use the different combinations of loop \/ variable to find the best tune<\/p>\n

This test rig can tune the whole HF frequency range and medium wave.<\/p>\n

I’ve attached 3 videos where you can see from the beginning to the last test on the balcony of my house.<\/p>\n

Videos<\/h1>\n

Note that the following videos are in Italian, but you can turn on closed captioning and in the settings of the video have it auto-translate into the language of choice:<\/p>\n
