Default Random Legth Receiving Only Ant.; Close Into A Loop ?

Hi,

New at this.

Do sw listening only (no transmitting) up to 30 MHz.
Like to listen at most all freq's.

Have a random-length simple wire strung around the 4 sides of the attic.
Same wire is fed down a floor into radio.

It's open at the end; NOT connected back to beginning of attic run to form a
loop.

I know I can try it and see, but frankly it's getting hard for me
now to crawl around up there.

Would you expect better performance if it was formed into a loop ?
Why ? (what "theory" or eq's would apply ?)

Thanks,
Bob
