Hi, guys.
My name is Alessandro and enjoy qrp with my YAESU FT-817 and ICOM IC-703.

Welcome to the group Alessandro. You'll find plenty of good help as well as some entertaining chat here.
I experimented with building a mag loop during the winter, the biggest problems I found were hand capacity affecting tuning and finding and fitting a slow motion drive. Apart from that mag loops are fairly easy to make.
BTW - I solved the hand capacity problem by making and extended shaft coupler from a piece of fishing rod!

Welcome aboard, Alessandro! If you want to build a magloop, you can ask for advice from my friend IZ5JLF. ;)
