Default Re: Magnetic Loop Receiving Aerial (Gary Tempest)

It looks to me like you've done quite a lot of things just right.

For any constructional article, a lot of people take great interest in reading about it. Many start collecting the bits, a few actually get as far as building the thing and a smaller number persevere as far as getting it going.

There was approaching 40,000 of those 4-247 transistors distributed free to the amateur radio world. They're all salted away in people's component boxes! I'd expected them to pop up all over the place and to at least be seen in the pages of Sprat, but I was wrong. Hoards have swallowed them up like a bottomless swamp. Not even a burp has surfaced. If ever offered another lot, I probably won't bother.
