You can easily make a simple , effective , and attractive antenna using nothing but copper pipe for the loops and some straight copper pipe for the trombone capacitor , or use an air gap variable cap . Magnetic loops are physically small and trade off bandwidth for efficiency and a small footprint . I use a 1 . 5 meter diameter loop I made with remote tuning via stepper motor . It allows me to work the world especially on digital modes . I even worked Japan on it once , from the east coast of Canada . <| sep |> I wish it came to my country
