John, Hmmm.... 450" loop at 5'. Feedpoint impedance would vary all over the place depending on frequency. Do you transmitting on this setup, and if so, are you using some kind of an antenna tuner, balanced output or single ended, how long is the feedline, and what frequencies do you intend to use? In any case, can't see that fanning out at the feedpoint would be necessary or useful.
