When I make loops (usually out of LMR400), I use my antenna analyzer to
get them to resonate properly and to match them. I really don't care
what the insulation is doing because the analyzer will tell me anyway.

BTW, a 1-turn LMR400 loop is about as good as an 80m hamstick, but a
whole lot more narrow!



Thanks, but that approach cannot provide the information that I need.
