What would be the optimum given a 15X15 inch square space?
Hi Bill,
You are already there (or, rather, you are already so close that you
wouldn't be able to tell the difference which would be a circle of 15
inch diameter). Subtended area counts for most.

If yer local to a 50kw station, why do you need an antenna all?
Walt, W2DU
I just use the local 50kw station as a reference. It's hard to see
microvolts from some far away station on a scope, so I just use the
big signals to make comparisons. I can see about 14 stations on a
scope connected directly to the loop, but the amplitudes vary from a
few millivolts to almost a volt.
