So... speaking of #SkinEffect for #RF applications I wanted to get a better intuitive feel for the skin effect/depth in a small transmitting loop (aka #MagneticLoop) using AC frequencies and materials I'm likely to have on hand and use and I found this great primer.

Which i plugged into #GoogleSheets so I could play with it... now you can too.

My magnetic loop antenna are 100% finish !!
Test between 10m to 60m very soon !!!

Ly magnetic loop antenna are finish, the only thing i need to make is a tripod mount support, some test this evening ! π

Very quick video about the test of my vacuum cap, it work pretty good !!
The max cap was around 500pF, awesome result and no moving parts inside the box, that was moving guys ! π

Part 4, vacuum cap are hard glued and soldered to both connector.
The box is finished !
Test very soon !!! π

Next step (Part 2) of my new portable antenna, 2 PL connector for the primary loop are installed, capacitor mount are finish and need to be hard glued on the box.

New creation today !
Iβm going to make a magnetic loop antenna with this bad boy right here, a good vacuum capacitor, itβs a Jennings USLS-465 5KV.
For the moment, iβm making the mount for the cap to be in place in a box.
