When I purchased the antennas, Norm, KB6KQ, told me to keep the 432 loops away

Of course, YMMV, but it worked for me.

I didn't know that but I never used Norm's 432 loops on anything except
1-3/4-inch O.D. fiberglass camo support tubes. The 6 and 2-meter loops
worked fine on the aluminum version of the same tubes.
Maybe that explains the 1dbi gain 432 loop. :>)
