Dear all,

did anyone try a loop antenna (for transmitting) on 500 kHz ?
As the radiation resistance of a small loop increases with the 4th power of the frequency a loop should be about 22 dB more efficient on 500 kHz compared to 136 kHz. A rather modest 100 m^2 loop should have a radiation resistance of about 0.0024 Ohm and thus require only 6.5 A antennacurrent to get 0.1 W ERP. For a vertical the gain is "only" about 11 dB (plus whatever is gained from lower losses).
