Hi!
So, I am planning to make my RX only 10M (28.4 MHZ) full wave loop antenna
into an octagon shape. My wire is insulated 14 gauge stranded copper wire.
I intend to use ~1.0" diameter PVC pipe for a frame. About PVC pipe, does
it matter if I 1) put the wire inside the pipe or 2) tape it to the outside
of the pipe? I prefer putting the wire inside the pipe. However, are there
any RF interference issues with PVC? Also, I wonder how PVC will hold-up to
the elements - particularly UV light (sunlight)?
