    Magloop antenna for 20m

       I was forced to use magloop (also known as STL – small transmitting loop) because I don’t have permission to build antennas on my roof. For loop I use cheap heating pipes. Any magloop builder inevitably will have to solve high quality/voltage capacitor problem. Since I operate only CW I decided to try fixed…
