Rig is about the same as last year. Three ft square loop of spaced bare #14 solid, Schottky diode (107 nA), T3/AM20 matching transformer and big can mic elements. Sometime last year I went from 6 turns to 8 turns. I think it was after this contest. Sensitivity was better.

The photos show my entire Select-To-Match variable audio matching unit, but I have been doing s ome mods on it and used only the T3/AM20 (100:100k) that was on the panel.
