I built two mag loops, one with an MFJ butterfly cap, and one with a massive 60pf bread-slicer I found on Ebay--if my calculations are correct, the monster should take a kw of power on 20m. The MFJ capacitor is not high quality, but it works over a wide range. However, I much prefer my AlexLoops for portability and ease of setup--they set up on a cheap photo tripods with the heads removed. My homebrew loops require guys because of their size and weight. The AlexLoop sets up in less than 60 seconds, as shown here in a video I shot near a salt-water amplifier:
