[Elecraft] OT: Long loop antennas

[Dave White]

Summer is here and time for antenna work.  I have a fair amount of room and
am contemplating replacing my 3 element beam and vertical with a long loop
antenna (to simplify).  I can accommodate a loop up to 190' per side
(square) at the same height as the beam (45 feet).  I am looking for an all
band (160 to 10M) solution. I have been reading the messages on the
YahooGroups loop antenna reflector, but they seem devoted to "magnetic"
(short) loops.

Any sage comments from the group?  Do I need a tuner?  Should the tuner be
at the antenna or the rig?  Any books or articles I should be reading?

Thanks

Dave
