Wouldn't a ferrite work better?

I think ferrite is a good choice too, but based on some other posts
I've seen here, you apparently need a whole bunch of them to work
really well (like, dozens or more). Maybe a combination of both
methods would be workable for some. For me, and considering that it
didn't really need additional weatherproofing, the coax coil worked out
as a good solution for 11 MHz and up. Cost a bit less too.

Hi Bruce,
The coax loop is a good solution for HF- particularly if you have G.D.O. and
can select the number of turns that achieves self resonance in the middle
of the freq of interest.

And remember on the ferrites- if they are big enough, you can make multiple
passes through them- the reactance goes up as the square of the number of
turns- saves on ferrites.
