[Lowfer] Loop antenna question

Hi John,

In my case I'm not talking about a small loop for LF, but rather a full size loop (one wavelength) for 30 meters.
The highest current points are found near the feed point and half way around the loop.  That being the case,
my thought was that if the loop was fed from a bottom corner, the max current near the feed would be in both
a horizontal and vertical leg of the square loop.  The question is, does this create dual polarity or a single
one that is at 45 degrees?  Proximity to other structures and ground is not considered in this idea, but in
reality they will definitely have an effect.
