I'm pretty fortunate in that my retirement QTH is on some 14 acres. The
'problem' is that most of the trees are too tall as I understand that
horizontal loops should be at about 35-40' in height. I also don't have any
strong commercial stations locally, such as N4LQ and others have to contend
with. I just have this hunch that a big loop would play very good with my
Omni 6 Plus.
One antenna I did find that worked great with the Plus is a 2-element EDZ
20m yagi...very narrow bandwidth but a little over 14 dBi gain! Running
barefoot on 20m provided surprisingly good results.

Thanks.

I'd love to go with a full sized loop but haven't the real estate for it, I
do have 3 tall trees out back that form an equilateral triangle with 30-40
ft
legs and would have to use them for support...
