Default Loop Antennas

Michael.
Why not try a folded dipole made from 300 ohm TV twin lead? Cut it for
the band you are interested in. A tuner or a balun to 52 ohm coax to
match your rig will be necessary. I was impressed with the lack of
noise pickup from the one I put up a couple of years ago. Cut for 75
meters. My home and antenna are just a hundred feet or so from a power
line with 3 sets of high voltage lines and sometimes they are very
noisy on a regular dipole, but not the folded dipole.
