HI,

I'm thinking about building a multi turn loop for 80 meters, using in for
TX
and RX purpose.
This would be a loop thats 1 meter big and 5 turns. Is there anyone who
has
tried this before?

I use a 1.4m diam single turn loop for 160-15m which is quite successful on
80m.

The ARRL Ant book says that multiturn loops aren't that much better than
single turn loops if the coils are too close. It might be better to use the
tubing to make a larger (3-4m?) single turn loop. The same source says that
radials can improve mag loop performance. However I found that 3 radials 2x
loop diameter made no difference.
