If you need a compact, easily-made HF antenna for your apartment or deed-restricted property, then this magnetic loop antenna from Australian radio amateur Peter Parker (VK3YE) should interest you. Here are some general comments from Peter: A description and demonstration of an ultra-simple but 100 watt capability 7 MHz magnetic transmitting loop for units and apartments. There are no hard to get parts or complex workshop skills required to build. Instead of the expensive vacuum variable capacitor, the loop is brought to resonance with a length of RG213 coax (approx 1.85 metres for a 3m circumference loop for 7 MHz). The sliding capacitor's dimensions are not critical but are approximately 6 x 8 cm. As demonstrated performance is excellent and would be significantly better ...
