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?
2) Does spacing this close effect the radiation pattern for the
transmitting Inverted L?
3) Is the only drawback to this close spacing a nosier receiving
loop?

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.
