Ah ok. Obviously at least one of the loops is insulated here (that
wouldve been a joke ). I'll experiment with the distance here and
see what differences it makes.

I also noted that different setups can affect different type of
stations in different ways again. What can benefit stations hidden in
static (tropical dx) can worse reception of SSB stations that are
strong, and ofcourse, the other way around.

Fun stuff, making your own antenna for sure!
