Interesting reviews on some of the loop antennas. I've seen W4OP adv's for several years.

I plan to make a receive-only 630m loop (4 to 6 foot diam) out of some surplus 1/2-inch hardline that is too old for coax use. The copper shield should do well in a loop. I will use a preamp with it (pcb in hand waiting for some spare time to build). Plan using a small TV rotator and tripod mount. Advantage of the loop is being able to null out noise sources. I transmit using 43x122 foot inverted-L.

The loop might also work for 160m if I ever try that band.
