Dave,
I run a smallish horizontal loop at home, about 170 feet of wire up about 40 
feet, and a 270 foot loop for Field Day. Both are fed with ladder line 
through a 1:1 balun, then coax to a tuner at the rig. (The tuner is the ATU 
in the K2) Both the home and field loops work very well 160 through 10m- much 
quieter noise-wise than my 33 foot vertical.

73,
