Mag-loops for the 'estate-challenged' radio Amateur.

Firstly, I'd like to point you at Alexandre Grimberg's excellent website. PY1AHD It's well worth a visit.

After eyeing up our plastic patio table with a view to turning it into a covert onni-directional mag-loop, I've discovered that Alexandre (above) has pre-empted me to that one.  I'm gutted!  My 'invention' of a patio table mag-loop has already been 'invented'. Woe is me!  On a more positive note, it has shown me the way ... turning useless 'garden clutter' into objects of desire.  Read all about it at py1ahd's patio mag-loop  No worries, I'll soon be building my own!
