ANTENNA DESCRIPTION: I recently installed a horizontal loop antenna
for 75 meters. The antenna wire is #12 multi-stranded tinned copper
with ..............


Sort of like what I have. Full size 75m loop fed at one corner. I connected
a 1:1 current balun directly at the antenna , feeding a 1/4 wave section of
RG11 Foam coax. All 50 Ohms downstream from there. SWR at resonance is about
1.2:1. No tuners.
