I am thinking about building a small receiving loop for 160 meters. I
can probably only get the loop about 50 feet or so away from my
transmitting antenna (inverted L.) My questions a

1) Is this spacing to close?

only if you want to tx and rx at the same time

2) Does spacing this close effect the radiation pattern for the
transmitting Inverted L?

probably not so that you would notice it.

3) Is the only drawback to this close spacing a nosier receiving
loop?

the loop will probably not pick up much coupled from the L, or at least not
enough to cause any real problem.


Would just like some opinions before I go through the trouble of
building the loop. The particular loop design I am looking at is the
KC2TX receiving loop.

Thanks for any opinions, positive or negative.
