I haven't got one at the moment, but as soon as it is sorted out, I will make one. I had another go later this afternoon and made a nice neat coil from tinned copper wire, mounted on a small oblong of acrylic that I bolted to the left hand side. After I wired it up, I was pleased to find that it worked OK with two or three stations. All I have to do now is find a 5pF capacitor to connect across the coil. Don't really want to have two 10pF in series. If I can't find one, I will make one by twisting two pieces of insulated wire together. I will also replace the white flexible lead with a tinned copper wire. Probably fit HT- and LT + solder tags to the sides as well. Will need to make a tuning control. I find a brass rod pushed into the coil works much better that a screwdriver or a ferrite rod.
