Thanks to everyone who responded about my proposed horizontal loop antenna.
I was outside today and had an idea for an antenna installation. I primarily want to work (or try to work) some DX. This, of course, requires a low elevation angle. A vertical would probably be a better solution due to my height restrictions. I live on a conservation lot with 6-8 acres of woods behind the house. I own maybe 15 feet into the woods. Being Florida, this is wetlands. There is almost always standing water or VERY moist soil (mud) in the woods. I would think that this would present an excellent ground for a vertical antenna to work against. My idea is to get a vertical antenna, paint it dark brown, and place it in the woods. I'd place it deep in the brush next to a tree. Nobody (except a deer or bobcat, etc...) would be able to touch it.
