[Lf] Carbonyl Iron Powder

[Frank Gentges]

HI,

Several (David, Shannon, etc.) have mentioned interest in making an iron 
powder stick for LF receiving antennas.  Here are some URLs.

I sent an Email and never heard a thing.  Somebody try a phone call to a 
human.

<http://www.epma.com/process/powder.html> Talks about the process but 
says the fine iron powder is used for molding processes.  Maybe they know 
about the RF application.

The powder I have came from GAF.  A web search turns up GAF as a roofing 
material company and I see no referance to things like chemicals like 
powdered iron.  A phone call might find they sold this division off to 
someone else.  Try <http://www.gaf.com/> for starters.

Try some web searches with variations on "carbonyl iron" which is what I 
used.
