[Antennas] Vertical Loop questions

[Demetre Koumanakos]

Hi All,

I'm about to install a vertical copper wire loop for 20 
meters on my roof to replace a self supporting (single center support 
with arms extending from the center) vertical loop that broke this 
past winter. this time I'll be using a support on each side (10 meter 
long fiberglass fishing rods) which will give me a square (instead of 
the old diamond) shape loop.

Question1: The diamond shape loop fed at the bottom performed very 
well, will the square shape bottom fed have a similar performance ??

Question2: Because of the support orientation the lower side of the 
antenna wire will be passing near an existing short antenna, will 
this affect the performance of the loop ??

PSE reply direct also sv1ens@arrl.net , e-mail from the reflector 
gets lost in cyberspace at times...
