I ended up getting a 384pf Air Variable Capacitor with 8:1 planetary reduction drive. The drive lets you fine tune it easily; https://www.mikeselectronicparts.com/product/384pf-air-variable-capacitor-with-81-planetary-reduction-drive/Zack Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238925825825238467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071676079594394898.post-56479908904753082292017-07-07T15:15:31.748-07:002017-07-07T15:15:31.748-07:00Is there a connection from the variable capacitor ...Is there a connection from the variable capacitor to your radio?ROSCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467563096504146934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071676079594394898.post-61439809993672984612017-07-01T17:24:41.277-07:002017-07-01T17:24:41.277-07:00If you wish to use a coupling loop, you can wind o...If you wish to use a coupling loop, you can wind one turn in the center of the loop, then connect the coupling loop directly to your receiver. Yes each end of the main loop is connected to the tuning capacitor. Sorry it took so long to respond.
