Cophasing Two Full-Wave Loops?

Hello everybody,
I hope everyone had a very Happy Easter. I have a spare 2:1 current
balun and would like to use it to feed a vertically oriented single-
band full-wave loop. I began to wonder; Can one feed two vertically
oriented full-wave loops perpendicular to each other with a common
feed point? Any opinions? Thanks in advance. As always, take care

I am taking your question as, 2 vertical loops, both hung from the
same skyhook, one broadside north/south, and the other broadside
east/west, and fed at the same point.
You get a more omni radiation pattern, but not full omni, there are
still lobes. This is much like 2 crossed dipoles (for the same band)
in an "X" configuration. Depending on height, you may not need the
2:1 balun. Check your impedance, a coax wound balun for a choke
may be all that is necessary.
