1940 Style Loop Antenna
#7

You hit another "Home Run", Ron. I'll see what I can do with Paul's information. I did hook up a loaner C.Crane Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna, and I was pretty impressive. A little pricey, but it added a whole new dimension to both the selectivity and sensitivity of the receiver. I will say that the original antenna, that came with both the 41-295 and the 41-300 I have, works just fine during the day, but is entirely different once the sun goes down. That's where the C.Crane unit came in real handy.

Glenn, I also have a 39-55 that I have been working on, from time to time. I haven't yet figured out a solution for the missing spring in the wireless controller. Found a clock spring that will probably work, but will require a bit of milling to proper width, and I then have to find a way to attach it to the unit. That end of the original looks like it was spot welded to the winding sprocket. Pretty much stopped working on it when the 41-295 and 41-300 popped up.

Thanks for your help. Going to go hang out on my sister's cattle ranch over the holidays. You guys have a great holiday, also.

Henry
