Hello Brian,
 
If you would take the time to give me some more details of your matching
unit as described below, I would greatly appreciate it.  You can send it to
me directly rather than thru the reflector at this address:

The loop wire (single turn) is satellite coax cable - the type with the copper foil outer conductor. It has a dc resistance of half an ohm and total rf resistance of just under one ohm. RF current is about 13 amps. I match  to 50 ohms using an L-match (switched fixed capacitors for coarse tuning and a small variometer for fine tuning).
 
Best of luck with whatever antenna you use - Brian
