Car mount magnetic loop antenna plans from 3.5 MHz to 7.5 MHz, LA6NCA, Larvik, Norway

The Antenna Rotator Controller is unique in that it senses, displays, and controls to the earth's true magnetic field. The compass sensor, mounted in a waterproof enclosure, is attached to the mast and sends its signal to a microcontroller

A homebrew Magmount for 2m antenna

A NEC Model Comparative Analysis of Physical Orientation and Performance. The small magnetic loop is a useful compromise antenna for limited space and portability. For this reason, the magnetic loop antenna is a practical high frequency antenna solution for the restricted space of apartment dwellers

Electroswitch Electronic Products specializes in the design and manufacture of various switch types, including rotary, toggle, pushbutton, and rocker switches, as well as encoders and indicator lights. The company provides commercial and MIL-spec compliant components, detailing features such as spring return, push/pull to turn, adjustable stop, concentric shaft, and keylock configurations for their rotary switch lines. Specific product series like the M5-series enclosed frame rotary switches are highlighted, demonstrating their engineering capabilities. The resource offers a Rotary Switch Configurator to assist customers in selecting appropriate components based on application requirements. It categorizes switches by construction, such as enclosed frame, open frame, military grade, sealed, subminiature, blade, and power options for rotary switches. Toggle switches are presented in miniature, full-size, military grade, and sealed variants, while pushbutton switches include ultra-miniature, miniature, standard, and sealed types. Further product details cover rocker switches in subminiature, miniature, and sealed configurations, alongside thumb switches. Encoder offerings include magnetic and mechanical types with options like concentric shafts and push-to-turn functionality. Indicator lights are available for both commercial rectangular panel mount and MIL-spec applications, featuring configurations such as Press-to-Test, Watertight, EMI Shielded, and Dimmable options.

I wanted to mount an amateur radio antenna on my truck that was more permanent than the magnetic mount on I already had, but I had a few specific design requirements for the project.
