If it were me I would construct it so that it would run 180 degrees 
through 540 degrees.  This would place one extreme at the 180 end of the 
loop and the other extreme at the 540 end of the loop.  This would 
prevent the loop from changing directions as it goes through zero from 
one direction to the other which tends to place a lot of stress on the coax.
