Build a Receive Loop





Build a Receive Loop | VE6DOK


A receive loop antenna can significantly improve reception, especially in noisy environments.


Why build one

  • reduce noise
  • improve signal clarity
  • compact and portable

Basic concept

A loop antenna receives signals differently than typical wire antennas and can help isolate useful signals from noise.


Simple build approach

  • loop of wire or tubing
  • support structure
  • feedpoint and connection

Where it helps most

  • urban environments
  • portable operation
  • weak signal work
