Testing a lightweight HF magnetic loop antenna made from 7 metres of RG58 coaxial cable. Contacts were made on 40 and 20 metres during the Lighthouse Weekend. It uses just three main parts: the coax itself, an air-spaced variable capacitor (approx 50 – 100pF max) and a T50-43 ferrite toroid. The toroid is threaded over the coaxial cable. RF from the transceiver is fed via a 2 or 3 turn winding over the toroid (experiment with this for lowest SWR). The coax inner is left unconnected; only the braid is used here. The loop is for low power use only – it will take 10 – 20 watts before the variable capacitor arcs over. Performance is, as expected, somewhere between a smaller pedestrian mobile magnetic loop and a full sized wire antenna. It would be improved if the variable capacitor was a low loss type and the coaxial cable was soldered straight to it. While there’s enough information above to make your own, it’s worth checking out G4FON’s website ( www.g4fon.net ) for similar loops. My loop is closest to his Version 2.

The first activation of Blacksburg SKYWARN was about 1PM on 10 May 1995. This is a scan of a printout from the (relatively new) NEXRAD WSR-88D RADAR showing one of the first storms we tracked. There was only one display for the RADAR (the PUP) in the office. The NWS forecasters would print out hard copy of interesting storms for SKYWARN. In later years, there was a video monitor in the SKYWARN station that displayed the right side screen from the PUP. Today, everyone has access to the current RADAR data.
The color printing technology was a Tektronix "solid ink" thermal printer. In a nutshell, it would melt colored wax (kind of like a crayon) and deposit the ink on the page — very high quality for its day.
