That's interesting. In what way is the "effectiveness" of a circular
loop decreased by changing its shape?

Hi Ed

The IDEAL loop skywire is a perfect circle!

Any deviation from that reduces it's affectiveness, but not very
appreciatively that you would notice enough for it to warrant worrying
about it.

I've had loop skywires that resembled the letters M, R and even close
to the letter V all closed loops of course, and I saw no difference in
their performance.
