My thoughts on using a loop - none whatsoever.  Will have to see what that 
piece of equipment might be. (Been away from HF since the mid seventies.)

Your apt will be twice as high as my apt and maybe get twice as much wind, mine 
experiences plenty.  I live on a corner of a building on the peripheral of the 
downtown tall building area. One 30’ glass panel wall faces south and the other 
faces west with a three foot square column at the apex.  Our view is southwest 
looking miles up the Trinity River.

My first thought was to put a horizontal ā€œVā€ wire antenna with the ends 
drooping to get the correct length for operation on 40 meters. Maybe some sort 
of Loop antenna would be better, will have to think about this.  Thank you, 
Tommy
