Thanks Kevin for the interesting plans. I'm not too technical so I may never build one but I like to read about things like this and wonder. Question: Directionality - I had an old Sanserino box loop. That was bi-directional to the sides. How directional is this, or is it omnidirectional? If I wanted to hook this loop up to the antenna terminals on a receiver (instead of using the proximity coupling technique), how would I do that?
I also saw plans online for a Slinky loop, that uses 4 slinky's. It is unidirectional (like a Ewe) to the coax side and nulls to the pot side. I daydreamed of mounting the slinky's on a piece of plywood to make it portable and have hinged pieces to come out and stand it up.

I created it to make a loop that would be effective with the Eton e100 Slider, but it is a killer loop for any portable radio or desktop ferrite loop like the Quantum Loop.
