Please look over this description carefully, as there is useful information here not found in the video:
Here is the KK5JY Loop on Ground, or "LoG", low-band (primarily 160m and 80m) receive antenna at my station. This antenna was designed by Matt Roberts, KK5JY. Please refer to his web site for more information on this antenna:

The cores that I used are the Amidon BN61-202 binocular cores, which are readily available on-line. Some have stated that a 73 mix binocular core is better than a 61 mix (or 43 mix). That is possible, too. It doesn't hurt to experiment.
The wire I used is Temco MW0064 28 GA solid copper magnet wire. That seems to have been discontinued, and replaced by Temco MW0308, which is green (versus red). Same wire, but a different color.
Do not get concerned about how the the windings ratio is counted. It doesn't matter if it is 12:3 or 24:6...follow the directions as I indicate on the video, and you will be fine. It also doesn't hurt to experiment (please read some of the comments).
This video incorrectly calls this the "KK5YJ" LoG (wrong call sign). This was an error during production. The older version has been removed from You Tube (it was at [ Ссылка ]), and replaced with this updated version. The narration is still incorrect, but titles have been included to show the correct call sign. My apologies to Matt Roberts, KK5JY, for this error.
