Frequency of your ferrite antenna depend on your tank circuit which consist of used ferrite rod, coil and capacitor.

Ferrite rod is as is, mean you take what you have in your lab stock.

Capacitor can be adapted to desired frequency. By the way, I think there is mistake in schematic: C 4,7nF need to go to ORANGE position and C 10nF to GREEN position.

Coil can be calculated to desired frequency. If you follow 5,7kHz then whole coil inductance using c 4,7nF (connected to "orange" position) have to be about 166mH.
Coil can be centre tapped. But you can try coil tapped at 1/4 of turns, count from ground side too.

How to calculate approximative number of coil turns? You need to wind about 10 test turns of wire on your ferrite rod, measure inductance, divide 166mH by measured inductance and multiply result by number of your test turns (10 or so).


Coil can be centre tapped. But you can try coil tapped at 1/4 of turns, count from ground side too.
HENCE THE SECOND INDUCTOR 41.50mH. ALL RIGHT?

AND PLACE HIM IN THE CENTER OF FIRST INDUCTOR?
IN RIGHT THE LEFT SIDE OF FIRST INDUCTOR?

WE CAN PLAY WITH THE SECOND INDUCTOR ON THE FIRST INDUCTOR. UNTIL IT COORDINATES BETTER;
I SUPPOSE.
