jerry: I'm sure you will find it quieter. CQ had an article about a horizontal quad loop fed with balanced 100 ohm coax into a tuner. That indeed is a quiet antenna for noise--not signal. One theory

You sumed it up real well. It's a great antenna. As I have suggested many times use 136' of open wire line or 123' of 450 ohm ladder line into a balanced tuner. If used on the funadmental band instal
