My receive Antenna is a G3LNP loop in the North/south plane. I have just put up a G5RV for HF and tried connecting both sides as the input to the receiver, but it is nowhere near as good as the loop. I tried putting a couple of TOKO CAN1A350 coils in series and was able to peak the signal, but still not as good as the loop. The advice in the LF source book is to construct a big coil to get a high Q, but I thought that maybe for receive this was not necessary. Presumably it is.
