Please can someone help me with the maths? I've been trying to work out my effective loop area and I cannot get sensible answers. These are the measured or estimated numbers I have:

Voltage across "loop"  = 24.48V rms  - measured
Current flowing in "loop" = 0.15A - measured
ERP (from far field levels) = 50-100uW (may be less) based on -18dB S/N with M0BMU

From these figures I should be able to work out the loop area, but either my calculations are wrong or the figure is correct and the effective loop area is very very small.

Help!
