A New Mag-Loop build that works on the CB Bands. Well that is no longer the case, once the capatictor was fitted the loop shifted frequency and started at around 21MHz so bye bye 11M hello 15M. I opted for an air spaced capacitor as I plan to use it on the Ham Bands, I had hoped to be able to get from 20M to 80M but as luck would have it the capacitor did not have enough band width to get all the way down to 80M (close but not close enough ).

The answer is to make the Loop bigger...........
