Could one of these loops be mounted away from the radio, say on the roof of my shed/summer house and a feed led in to the radio a few yards away?

And would the tuning/matching capacitor be ok mounted by the receiver?

I had somewhere in all my junk one of those old PW data wallcharts with details of various aerials plus I think, an ATU that was switchable with a tapped coil as well as a variable capacitor. Wish I could find it again, I've lost loadsa bits and bobs since the house move 18 months ago.

Andy.
