Loop on the ground results

I built a LOG antenna finally. I had the parts forever but I thought I would give this a shot for some help in lowering my noise floor. I did not show the build but just the results. The parts list I will provide in the video description. It is basically a Binocular toroid, project box, F-Type female connector and magnet wire. The coax is 75 Ohm coax as recommended in the online build instructions. There are a number of those available at various sites.
Torroid: www.amazon.com...
Magnet Wire: www.amazon.com...
F-Type 75 Ohm Connector: www.amazon.com...
Project Box: www.amazon.com...
Coax: www.homedepot....

That is an incredible difference in noise floor. Thanks for sharing this.

Yes, it's pretty dramatic. Take a look at Callum's video as well: ua-cam.com/video/z5MhYu2LUrY/v-deo.html

Don, thanks man! This is one of my want-to-do projects. The noise difference is dramatic!

[@thork0tjt515]

Great demo Don! Thanks for sharing!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Wow, pretty cool!

[@Mr.Modulation.StatenIslandMic]

Amazing Don big difference with loop. I'm thinking about getting a transmit loop for 20 and 40 any suggestions I'm going to mount it horizontal 65 feet in the air

[@don_n5skt]

I had a loop up at one time. A horizontal Delta loop is fantastic but either a Delta loop or a Skyloop. Either are fantastic.

[@Mr.Modulation.StatenIslandMic]

Ok ty Don glimg to look into it thanks again n2dbi ny 73's

[@AA0Z]

Wow. That is some dramatic difference. That noise floor basically disappears.

[@don_n5skt]

I ran that under the power line up to the house so was not expecting this result

[@johntyler4222]

It’s interesting that you are using the transformer the opposite way around to the original article and the ratio is actually 16:1 rather than the original 6.25:1 or 9:1. I wonder why you decided to make those changes and did you try the original idea. 73, John.

[@don_n5skt]

I looked at many articles on this. Not sure which is the original article. I now have 2 LoGs out both built this way. And I have seen many different ratios for the transformer. I also have a DX Engineering loop for detecting RFI that is also built this way. I think in here that I have pointed out that the ideas on the build came from building the DXE loop.

How much of a difference does it make on phone?

[@don_n5skt]

Sorry I didn't respond to this right away. It make a lot of difference on Phone. In fact, that is how I use it.

To quote JoeBrett “well I’ll be dipped!”

[@don_n5skt]

Thanks Ape. I am a little surprised myself but I think it is due to my noise type. I still want to track down the source
