Unread post by 2E0SOF silent key »

Well I had a spare mountain bike wheel and made a 10M loop . Works spot on added a small cap with gamma match. Tunes all 10m wide band.

Canny work mate, that is a brilliant use of what would be scrap metal!
Will it handle 100W or does it start to spark?

Tested at 20W dont think it will handle 100w due to the cap would need a bigger cap wide spaced .. but 20W is anough into the loop
