OK, other than leveling all existing structures within 2,500 ft of my house

also, if these loops don't work then why do these designs exist?

Tony, if "loops don't work" is the only message you've gotten to this
point, it is the wrong message.

Certainly your loop doesn't work - or at least I have to take your
word for it. That is a far different issue.

Loops do work if you follow standard practices.

The real question is:
"Is a loop my solution?"
and with that comes the $64,000 prize.

In other correspondence you describe noise levels pushing the S-Meter
to S9. If that noise is coming from one direction, a dipole or loop
can solve it. If it is general (meaning that your neighbor's fish
tank heater is bathing you in noise), then you don't stand a chance.

You don't need an antenna, yet. You need to find the source of noise.
