I may need to re-read my articles about transmitting loops, but can't
remember why two #10 conductors in parallel are better than taking the same
wire and making it a 2-turn loop.    Does the series resistance double while
the radiation resistance does not fall by half with a two turn loop?

Hmm... I guess the series resistance would quadruple.  Maybe I answered my
own question?

Thanks!

wire feedline.
