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?

================================

A multiturn loop on 80m is hopelessly inefficient for transmitting purposes.
It is roughly 80 dB down on 1/4-wave vertical. Furthermore, for a Tx power
output a lot less than a watt, the volts across the tuning capacitor will be
10Kvolts or more - if you can find or make one.

For the performance of multi-turn receiving loops download program RJELOOP3
from website below.

For the performance of single-turn transmitting loops download program
MAGLOOP4.
