!!TRANSFORMERS winding - very important thing!
** for 50 ohm coax feed line : 2 turns on primar (coax) and 6 turns on secondar side (loop)
** for 75 ohm coax feed line : 2 turns on primar (coax) and 5 turns on secondar side (loop)

!!Wind the coax
- Wind the coax as is on the picture, there should be 7 or 8 turns.
- fix it by one binder and use second one to fix choke to the PCB

!!K9AY loops design example.
* It is VERY recomended to place K9AY loop antenna as far as possible from metal towers, antennas and wires. This hepls to obtain better paramaters of antenna ( directivity and noise ).
