Linear Loading Loop Antenna
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			The good news is that I have no antenna restrictions.  The bad news, is that I 
am on a small lot.   The best HF (75m-10m) fitting antenna seems to be a random 
length loop around the eaves of the house.  Would it be better to linear load 
the loop?  That is, instead of using a single wire to construct the loop, to 
use TV twinlead? 
 
Or would a 2 or 3 multiturn loop be practical?  That is run 2 or 3 turns of 
single wire around the house? 
 
I am looking for a NVIS antenna for 75m and 40m and a dx antenna for 20m-10m. 
Power would be 100 watts or less.  Feed would either be ladder line to an 
antenna tuner or ladder line to a 4:1 remote balun with a short length of coax 
to the antenna tuner. 
 
Any suggestions or comments?
