So again I'm trying to hammer out an antenna.  My magnetic loop works
OK for RX.  I've not made any contacts with it yet because I've not
tried very much.

If you're hesitant to build a mag loop like mine because you can't
figure out the capacitor problem, then check these out:

All of these are for about 10-20 watts operation indoors.  I'm going
to give one of these a shot tonight.  Maybe I can convince someone to
try a contact tomorrow after the net.
