A few years ago, at a previous home with 5 ac, I considered an 80m
full wave horizontal loop fed with ladder line (450-ohm) but coming
thru the house wall would require hefty insulators so I considered
running parallel coax as Wayne described and have an parallel tuner
on the wall. Theoretical loop Z is 140-ohms so I was thinking
parallel RG-11.
Still have the big variable caps needed for the tuner, but I bought a
old Drake MN2000 and now have the KXPA100 with atu for the tribander
and inverted-V; Inverted-L has a tapped base coil.
Well, short story: "in 2006 we moved to property with heavily
forested 1-3/4 ac so loop idea was abandoned and I put up an
inverted-L between two towers separated 130 foot".
