Great logic. What about the fractal idea that you can zig-zag the
perimeter for greater wire length and thus lower the resonant frequency
for a given area? Isn`t that inherently inefficient?

Richard, after all these years I still refuse to be dragged into that
madhouse. Cheerio. Perhaps see you later.
