Series: Medium Wave Receiving Loop

Loop antenna with NodeMCU wireless controlled pan, tilt and varicap tuning

Direction Finding Loop Wireless Magic

Wireless direction finding loop is a science and art.

My modern remote loop will sit in the backyard while I tune it from the shack. It will also let me play with some new toys.

Making an antenna pan-tilt rotor just requires a few cheap parts.

When debugging control systems for a 9G micro servo motor, it helps to check under the hood.

After trying the cheap plastic unit, I decided to build a more sturdy pan-tilt mount for my receiving loop antenna.

Cheap magnet wire is just a glance away.

Having built the servo pan-tilt base and the plastic mounting jigs, it was time to wind the receiving magnetic loop.

My loop tuning board has been designed and built. And it even works!

After designing and building, I have the receiving loop running, sort of.

Yesterday, I converted my receiving loop from box to planar wound loop.
