John,

I can't seem to locate my Xerox copy of the Krauss chapter on loops but will 
keep looking The lobes shown in his figures were extensive (nice graphics, 
too) but it may be that the examples I remember were for  loops of many WLs 
circumference.

I did manage to find a good article covering the radiation resistance for 
loops of all dimensions. Turns out the radiation resistance is still very 
small at 1/4WL. So does this say that most of your 53 ohms is ground loss 
and/or tree loss? Lot of room in there for hours of exploration and possible 
improvements!
