Dear Uwe, LF Group,
The trade-off is that, although the bulky coil is
eliminated, it is replaced with a bulky high-voltage, high current tuning
capacitor. Also, much thicker antenna wire will be required to get reasonably
low loss in the loop. I think if the antenna will be very close to a lot of
trees, etc., the loop is worth considering because its losses are less sensitive
to the surroundings, but a vertical is probably better in a reasonably "open"
location.

Subject: LF: Tee- Ant. vs Loop ?
To all ,
I would like to built a Tx antenne but with
linited space I need at least a bulky 4 mh and variometer.
So I wonder if I could not use a loop antenna (
20x 10m ) ? So I would not need such big coils ?
( high voltage vs. high current )
