[Antennas] Loop Antennas

[Bob Wilder]

The current thread on this list has got me to thinking about rotatable
loop antennas for 160-40 meters.  I remember back in the '30's and 40's
most of the radios had a wire loop mounted on a pasteboard back cover.

My question is this.  Is there a way to build a loop of this type (say out of
#10 insulated wire) which would work for tranmitting on 160-40 with about
100 watts of power.  I figure if it works for receive purposes, it should be
able to be made to work for transmitting.  Just think about a four foot
square wire loop on a TV rotator that would work on transmit and be
able to null out QRM on receive.  Any thoughts on this?
