The advantage of this type of loop is that it performs equally to a

dipole
on
multiple frequencies.


Yeesh. This makes my jokes about a 30-element MW log-periodic sound
practical by comparison.


Pull out your calculator. It's not that big.


Imagine my surprise when my MW loop turned out to be only 1341 feet in
diameter, needing only 33 acres to hold it (41-1/3 if you own the entire
square the circle is inscribed in).

We'd need about 36 poles to hold it half a wavelength, or 1,054 feet,
off the ground.

Maybe we could rent Arecibo... is it big enough?
