One Yard or One Metre Diameter Hula-Hoop Signal Turn (1T) Coax Cable {Shielded} Loop Antenna for Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL)
RHF
and for a reasonable Indoor {Semi-Safe} Shortwave Antenna
to use with a Battery Powered Radio during Thunder and
Lightning Storms -consider-
The One Yard or One Metre Diameter size of Hula-Hoops
can be used to make a Signal Turn Coax Cable {Shielded}
Loop Antenna for Shortwave Radio Listening. With the
resulting Loop Antenna Element being about 9' 5" to 10' 4"
in Size.
Placed the Loop Antenna Element on a Window using a
short 3~5 Feet feed-in-line made {part of} with the same
single continous piece of Coax Cable.
-IF- Needed small {tiny} RF Signal Amplification is required
with your Radio / Receiver -then- Use an MFJ-1020 Active
Antenna as a Pre-Selector between the Loop Antenna
Element and your Radio/Receiver.

The loop pretty much guarantees that the *signal* turns!

That would be Single Turn as in One (1) Turn. ~ RHF
