Dear LF-group,
For some time I have been "playing arround" with an idea for an alternative
antenna. I intend to give it a try when I find some time (during winter),
but meanwhile I have put the idea on my webpage :

I will apreciate any comment either positive or negative (preventing me
from spending some time and money on a foolish idea).
An immediate thought - if the loop is big enough that you don't need the
lumped loading L, then it's a single turn loop. If some of the L is packed in
a wound component that doesn't radiate, then you lose (I'm guessing)
according to the reduction in loop area, and by some function of the ratio of
(inductance in the loop/inductance in the coil).
