WHY ? The Horizontal Loop Antenna -may-be- The Better Over-AllSWL Antenna !
 

I'm glad your antenna is fair and balanced.

WHY ? The Horizontal Loop Antenna
-may-be- The Better Over-All SWL Antenna !

- It works better than the 70' random wire,
- which used the same space.

Dave : Egg-Zak-Lee !

In the same Square Space :

The Longest Random/ Long Wire Antenna is
a Diagonal = 1.414

Where as a Wire [Perimeter] 'Loop' Antenna
is an all around Square {Loop} = 4.000

Which is 2.829 Times the Wire in the Air :
All Other Things Being =Equal=

~translation~
More Signal {More Wire In-the-Air}
Same/Less Noise {Balanced Antenna}
-result- Over-All Better S/N Ratio

The space being 10' above the ground from the back wall of my yard to
the front of my house (I don't build antennas in the front of the
house). I am using the same fiberglass pole at one corner, and the same
treated 2 by 2 pole at the opposite corner that defined the random wire.
I have added another pair of corners.
