Andy1845c said:The only issue with my loop is it is dead at both ends of the dial. It works great in the middle freqs., but dosn't have range for the top and bottom of the AM brodcast band. I remember reading somthing on how to adjust this, but I can't remember now.
Looks good to me!Andy1845c said:For a receiver I have a Hallicrafters S-38. http://www.arsmachina.com/halli38.htm
Dont knock it, many of the newer "transistor" recievers were a big step back from the old valves in terms of strong signal handling and oscillator noise performance. Result, as anything but a local station reciever, they are crap!Andy1845c said:Certinly not as good as a modern transistor unit, but I got it for 3 bucks at an auction and have had many happy hours listening to it
