I noticed KC2TX directly parallels loops tuned to different
bands. That won't work very well. As a matter of fact, the
loop for the band you are not using will seriously degrade
level from the band you are using.
Second, there is no impedance matching...only resonanting
with a cap. That's not always a good idea, although it can
work.
I'd try an EWE, Pennant, Flag, or K9AY in that order
depending on what you can put up.
