the range of the loop is too high; it reaches down to 10.1 mhz, but not enough for swr 1:1 with 30 watts; and there is room at the top of the range (i.e. the capacitor goes past 30 mhz); so i'm going to restore the 3 metre main loop

aluminium foil magnetic loop antenna on my bedroom door, wrapped in some protective green plastic sheet (bin bag); the coupling loop is much too large, rendering the antenna pretty useless

another option would be to add capacitance to the capacitor, probably by adding a small, fixed unit to the variable; anyway, i reached my limit yesterday when the coupling loop size/position issue reappeared; despite some fiddling, retaping and cutting, i was unable to achieve good swr at the top and the bottom of the range with 30 watts; (the retaping is surely unnecessary, by the way, so i'll dig out some clothes pegs, next time;) that will be in the next few days (not something i thought i'd be saying yesterday, though i was conscious at the end of the experiment that i should not burn any bridges); i suppose i'll resize the former and make the loop 3 metres in perimeter; i hope that will not be too much; i think there are a couple of picofarads to play with at the low end (high end of frequency range); before i dismantle the loop, however, i must check that the loop is properly connected to the capacitor and that there is continuity between capacitor plates (to validate yesterday's testing); and then, since the lower mobile plate is now screwed to the upper, i'll see whether the screws involved in the safety circuits are strong enough to halt the motion of the capacitor; i suspect this has already occurred, when the upper circuit came loose, but it needs to be checked; it would be good to obviate the safety circuit; it makes this unit rather complicated

after a long evening with various lengths of abxkoppel yesterday and a similar amount of effort made today with faraday loops, i have found a degree of satisfaction with the following setup; main loop length 2.89m; coupling loop (abxkoppel) length 2.8m, starting nearly at the top of the main loop; this configuration will achieve swr 1:1 from bottom to top, using 30 watts; however, the length of coupling loop appears to have affected the tuning to such a degree that 10.1 mhz is now the lowest available frequency, whereas lower than ten was observed before; also, the 1:1 match at the top of the frequency range is only good as far as 30w; the swr begins to slip after that, albeit slightly; by the way, it had not occurred to me to try any of these coupling loops upside-down; the abxkoppel is fed from above; the faraday loop from above; one more experiment occurs to me; a reduction in the width of the main loop should lower the frequency range, and might also make the matching at the top end more comfortable

the last recording i made shows that the pre-amp provides a superior audio signal than the amplified no-pre-amp one; i could boost the signal at the transceiver output, but that distorts the signal, since it is a driven output (for a speaker)

i'm about to take the ladder down; (again; i took it down before lashing the capacitor to the top of the bay tree;) before i do, let me share an important detail about the capacitor remote control; with the button on the left hand side, the capacitance goes up (frequency down) when the top of the rocker switch is pressed and down (frequency up) when the bottom of the rocker switch is pressed; i can imagine myself having forgotten that
