So how to keep birds of a mag loop without lowing the Q?
I had a similar problem with one of my early mag loop attempts about 20
years ago. If your loop is a single turn type you could arrange for the
tuning cap to be at the bottom with the coupling loop at the top. That
puts the voltage-neutral point where the birds will perch, and they will
have no effect on the tuning.
The birds don't bother my two-turn mag loop (pix on my QRZ page) at all
these days because they prefer to perch on the LPDA on the main tower.
