[Lowfer] Sloping loop?

Dave,

TX loop performance in terms of uv/m at a remote receiving site is pretty=
 close to being proportional to the enclosed area, not the shape of the l=
oop.  A secondary performance factor is the percentage of the loop that i=
s over the ground. If you have an average horizontal dimension greater th=
an the average vertical there will be an additional ground loss compared =
to the 50 x 50 loop.

Send me your planned dimensions via a Word graphics, and I will give you =
an idea what your performance will be like.
