I have a spare load somewhere and maybe a part of the antenna as well, have to have a look when I get home tonight.

What part of the world are you?

Dave,

I am currently making a "Pixie Lookalike" using Mike K's 3D files and I would like to finish it off with an antenna that looks alike too. So before sending it off to Doug, please would you take a picture of the loading coil and post it on here with dimensions..... length/diameter.

Hi Paul

Since I've got an OS Pixie sitting on the shelf next to me, I'll save Dave.

As you can see, there is a raised section around the middle, either side of it is 18.7mm diameter. It isn't quite symmetrical, the bottom has a bigger hole than the top, but for a reproduction, I would keep it simple.

Cheers

Mike
