Gee, Mal, if all of us follow this general statement of yours, you will have few new stations to contact (as you were complaining about only a month ago). All debates aside, at least the loop allows a way for a number of us to transmit on LF .......... with sites impossible on which to erect a vertical. And don't be concerned about the 100w power level, proposed in the US, over- driving a 50'x50' loop. A 12Ga wire has no problem with the 8.3A of current at 100W. BTW: The number of TX loop using Lowfers will likely outnumber the number of vertical using Lowfers (the active ones) in the US this winter!
