I realize that it is more efficient at LF because of the larger surface area but I am trying to understand the relationship between "Q" DC losses in antenna, AC losses, and radiated power. In the RSGB LF Handbook I see mention of coils of between 1000 and 3000 I believe this was in referece to loading coils Thank you Paul W1VLF
