[Lowfer] Loop Antennas for Transmitting

[Les Rayburn]

Not to open a can of worms, but could we discuss transmitting loops
in general terms?

Based on their use on the 160 meter band, they seem to be poor
performers as compared to short wavelength verticals. Lots of antenna
current, but poor radiation.

Can someone explain to the village idiot (me) why they would perform
any better on LF, than they seem to on the MF bands? My understanding
is that Bill's design is basically a single turn vertical loop that is tuned to
resonance, correct? I'm assuming something like 50 foot in circumference?
