Default Horizontal Attic Loop Feed

Looks like I'll have to use a horizontal loop in the attic for a few
months. Any opinions on how to best feed it?
--open wire
--coax coil balun
--ferrite bead balun
--straight coax

The loop is about 13 feet per side, and I want to operate 20 meters and
up. In the past I have simply used a coax feed without a balun. It worked
OK, but there was a lot of stray RF around the house.

TIA


If the antenna is in the attic you are going to have RF in the house because
the antenna is IN the house.
