I made a mistake and said microhenries instead of ųF (microfarards); and I said kilowatts instead of kilovolts. Sorry, it was too early in the morning. I used this Magloop calculator: miguelvaca.github.io/vk3cpu/magloop.html
If you go to qrz.com and look me up, KO6DEV, you will see the costs. The Magloop is less than $100, the Moxon is less than $250 (rotor included) the dipole for 80 to 40 is $10 or less. The antenna switch is around $30, and it’s a kit. So, I am saving hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Advise: build and experiment.
Amazing
Total cost? Time and effort? Plans? Good performance a day results?
