Default Size of horizontal loop?

Ed,

517-j7600 for a 300 foot loop at 50 feet
still 110-j2500ish for the 350 foot loop at 50 feet.

This is a rapid fire thread!!

Good point on the multiband original post... didn't read carefully.
For 160 meters, the longer the better over an 80m fullwave. Richard
has a good point about multiband use but the extra length doesn't
change that caveat too much. If you've got an acre of land, it's
probably worth thinking about different antennas for the low bands and
the higher HF bands.

A loop of 87.5 feet per side (350 feet total) at 35 feet over average
earth shows a feedpoint impedance of 109-j2460 ohms in EZNEC... easier
to match than 8800-j30000 for sure.
