With remarkable teamwork and precision, a dozen mag loop antennas were finished December 29, 2018 after two full days of work. The project was led by Adrian Jarrett-K6KY. All the antennas were tuned and tested and Adrian says they should work particularly well on 20 meters as well as 30 meters and 17 meters. We haven’t had any reports of the antennas on the air yet, but you are sure to see some at CVARC’s Winter Field Day event on January 26th. Continue reading for pictures from Day 2 of the build.

Twelve CVARC members began building mag loop antennas under the guidance of Adrian Jarrett-K6KY on Saturday, December 15th. We’ll need one more day to finish the project (12/29) and then everyone should go home with a great antenna! Continue reading to see more pictures from the event.
NEW DATE for Magnetic Loop Antenna Build
Due to some back-ordered parts, the magnetic loop antenna build has been rescheduled for December 15. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Adrian Jarrett-K6KY.
Update: On the Upcoming Project Build
Upcoming Project: Magnetic Loop Antenna
CVARC’s next project build is scheduled for Saturday, December 15. Adrian Jarrett-K6KY will assist CVARC members in building a Magnetic Loop Antenna. The cost of the materials will be $110 or $175, depending on whether you’d like the 800V or the 1.5kV capacitor.
If you’d like to participate, please sign up next Thursday at the September CVARC meeting. Payment will be due at that time so parts can be ordered. If you wish to participate, but are unable to attend the September meeting, please email Christian Ylagan to sign up, and send your payment, payable to CVARC, to PO Box 2093, Thousand Oaks, CA 91358. The deadline to sign up is September 30.
For additional information about the project, please see the earlier post about this project build.

6 Meter Halo Antenna Project
An easy to build, 6m halo antenna. By Adrian Jarrett-K6KY
The Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club was looking for project ideas for the members. Early in 2017 the Radio Society of Great Britain published a 2-meter band halo design, which looked easy and fun to build. This was chosen as one of the club’s projects. However, the Conejo Valley is surrounded by hills, and so long haul 2m may be a bit problematical. That, and after having a great time in summer 2017 on 6m sporadic E, first with JT65 in the June ARRL VHF contest, and then with FT8, a 6m halo seemed like a worthy project.
