Default Open Loop aka Dipole bent into a square

The attic is a poor place for antennas but a good place to experiment.

A 60-ft. perimeter is over one wavelength at 15 meters.

According to Arnold B. Bailey`s "TV and Other Receiving Antennas" Fig.
8-14 on page 408, an open-circuit large loop has a radiation resistance
of less than 80 ohms. A closed-circuit large loop has a radiation
resistance of over 40 ohms.

A closed-loop`s radiation resistance varies less with frequency than
does the open loop.

Borrow the book. Look at the chart. Pick the radiation resistance you
want and proceed.
