When the loop is vertically polarized over good soil, and the center of
the loop is 0.17 wavelengths above the earth, the elevation angle peaks
about 21 degrees above the horizon.


Hi Bob,

What is left out of this, is that a loop is sensitive to where it is
excited, and what major polarization it will present. Again, given
all the variables you have, modeling would solve this far faster.
[Hint: you are probably wanting vertical polarization, but with the
heights you have advantage of, you need to test all options.]
