in a single turn loop. For best reception, orient the loop vertically. It may be attached around
the frame of a window, behind a curtain, on the back of the equipment cabinet or in some
similar manner. Signal strength is proportional to the size of the loop. The larger the loop,
the greater is the signal strength.
from each of the cable ends. At one end, completely remove the 3/4" of shield, since the
shield is not connected at this end of the cable. Then remove 3/8" of insulation from the center
conductor. On the other end of the cable, leave the shield intact and strip 3/8" of insulation
from the center conductor. On this end only, twist the center conductor and the shield together
so they make a good electrical connection.
