[Lowfer] rx loop copuling

[Scott Tilley]

Hi Dex

I use similar types of loops for my RX work here; however, with thicker 
wire (#14 CU).  I feed the loop with a matching transformer and resonant 
them with series capacitance.

If you're looking for broadband performance my thoughts have drifted to 
giving this a try:
