MagLoop Display at the SPARC Fest 2014 Leamington Ontario Swap VE3UK Magnetic Loop

This was the second annual swap for the Sun Parlour Amateur Radio Club (SPARC), and my second year as an exhibitor showing my MagLoop brand. In this video, operators took their crack at checking into the Intercon and Marine Mobile Service nets on 14.300Mhz using only 10 watts from an SGC SG-2020 into MagLoop's HFH32 32" magnetic loop antenna on a 7 foot high tripod. Every time the NCS in Texas said we were at least a S7 or S9 and commented once that he couldn't believe we were running only 10 watts with a small loop at 7 feet. At the mic in this clip was Dan VE3XQ who is our local member of CFARS, the Canadian equivalent of MARS in the USA just 30 miles north of the border.

As the creator of the "MagLoop" brand, here is my latest magnetic loop antenna. This antenna is 32 inches in diameter, rolled in 1.5" aluminum, and sports our own "trombone" style capacitors allowing this antenna to handle in excess of 5KW. This antenna will tune continuously from 14.000 Mhz to 29.000 Mhz. This is a short video clip of my son Mason VA3SG testing out the loop by checking into th...

Hi, I am Bob VE3UK from Pyramid Machinery which is the parent company of MagLoop and Monarch Capacitors. Today I am giving a brief introduction on how you can easily make your own butterfly style variable capacitors using the plates the I produce using CNC Laser technology. To get an idea of how many plates you may need for a given required capacitance maximum, please visit my Monarch Capacitor...

This is a short video showing the basic final assembly of our PWM 0 to 6 volt DC controller that we use with our Magnetic Loop (MagLoop) antenna capacitors. Each rocker switch can be set to its own independent voltage. One would be a high voltage (3 to 6 volts) for fast QSY and the other to a very low voltage (below 1V) for slow QSY or fine tuning. Additionally, when you release the rocker swit...

This is a short video of my contact today into Florida, using my SGC SG-2020 with about 15 watts output and my indoor 32" magnetic loop antenna. This antenna is made from 1" aluminum tube and my butterfly capacitor design. I will work well from about the 12 meter band to the 30 meter band. Last night I was knocking off 30M CW contacts left and right and receiving 579 through 599 reports. This a...

This is a short video of my contact today into Serbia, using my SGC SG-2020 with less than 20 watts output and my indoor 46" magnetic loop antenna. The math works out about 324 miles per watt seeing that YT1AA is 4,865 miles from my QTH.

Here is another brief demo of me (VE3UK) using my 46 inch magnetic loop antenna indoors on the ground floor of my home. The first contact was from my QTH Lakeshore, Ontario to New York State on 40 Meter LSB, and the second QSO was to the State of Florida on 20 Meter USB. Both contacts were made during a period when the band propogation was not the best, in other words band conditions were very ...

All contacts were with in the province ranging from 100 to 300 mile distances. Not exciting, or rare DX, but for only 15 watts with an indoor loop, I am happy. In addition, the band was not in the best shape. If you would like to learn mor...

Well I am back at it... Here is the rotor that I just assembled for my 20 through 40 meter magnetic loop... This capacitor will be the biggest one I have built to date. It consists of a dozen 10" plates. The plates are spaced 1" apart and when interlaced with the stators, they rotor and stator plates will be 1/2" apart... This should provide me with enough voltage handling to run far beyond the...

YES-YES, I am still here. The videos have been slow in coming as I have not had much time for the hobby. However, due to many requests, I am offering this brief video displaying one of my fun magnetic loop antenna projects. This little wonder has been performing much better than I expected. The major weakness is that of the capacitor. To tune the antenna, I simply spin one of the capacitor plat...

This is my second day with my home brew magnetic loop. Since the last video, I basically completed the gamma match. I still have to work on the capacitor as tuning it is now the weak link. In this video, I made contact with a station in Washington state about 1,800 miles from me. The interesting, but not so obvious thing that occurred was the comparison by Pat in Washington of my signal to Stev...
