Hi Dave, thanks for the post. Nothing like a discussion about simple
antennas which work magically :-)
Your sketch shows a short at the point where the 1' wide feedline
connects to the loop (if I interpret it correctly). May I safely
assume that's an oversight and not some fancy hairpin matching device?

Noticed same thing here, Paul with e-antennas, so tried this and it
serves well from 17.2 kc. to 6 meters.
Pulled down all the other wire antennas, no more ground radials or
top load wires needed, plus is more quiet on RX.
Gets out well on 600M too. 160M, 80M, 30M, it doesn't care where it tunes...
Mostly no de-tuning with snow and wet... ( maybe 2 kc. )
