Steve Davis Wrote:OK, this thread has gotten me a little excited. We have been living in an apartment for the past couple of months, with no place for a decent long wire antenna. I was trying to use about twenty feet of wire laying along the baseboard. One of my favorite stations is 650 WSM in Nashville and I had pretty much given up on that. I put together an 18 x 18 loop. Now I am able to get WSM very clear with very little fade. Color me sold! Icon_biggrin

Nice setup.
Would you have a wiring diagram?
Not sure how to wire that condensor.
Thanks
