First real tests of the magnetic loop ant. Promissing impressions. No QRM by the electronics - ufb. Software needs some adjustments to optimize performance. Covers a range frm 1720 - 3850 kHz, within 620 steps of the light barrier es 11.5 turns. Excellent potential for fine-tuning and exploration.

Next steps in my magnetic loop controller.
Now including a app written in flutter. Tnx claude.ai, chatgpt and me.This system will supports a 2-turn magnetic loop antenna with a 2-meter diameter, optimized for 80m and 160m bands. Next steps housing, wirering....

A winter project. Esp32 driven magnetic loop regulator. Esp32 in wifi fer motor control in browser. Fast slow forward, backward. Auto start stop switches. Pos controlvia light barrier. Software works: thanks claude.ai (and me)
3d printed. 2m 2 turns 80m es 160m.
Next step assembling.
