Hello All, For those interested in the new Ferrite Sleeve Loop antennas, a demonstration video of an 8" diameter model recently constructed by Eduardo Mairipora in Brazil was posted on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I4-xPltkq8 . Demonstrating the antenna's inductive coupling boost to a medium-sized Sony portable, the narrative is in Portuguese, but the antenna's performance is impressive in any language. Eduardo's model is apparently composed of 63 Russian surplus 200mm x 10mm ferrite rods, and probably weighs around 15 pounds.
