  Here's another interesting antenna project for radio amateurs living in deed-restricted housing. In this video, Peter Parker (VK3YE) shows us how build and use a 100 watt 7 MHz Magnetic Loop Antenna designed for "units and apartments." This simple HF antenna uses commonly available parts and does not require an expensive variable capacitor.  This antenna can be used at your home station or in the field for POTA/SOTA operations.

Here are a few comments from Peter (VK3YE): A description and demonstration of an ultra-simple but 100 watt capability 7 MHz magnetic transmitting loop for units and apartments. There are no hard to get parts or complex workshop skills required to build. Instead of the expensive vacuum variable capacitor, the loop is brought to resonance with a length of RG213 ...
