This post references two very good sites for acquiring loops for use with
QRP. One very significant and major difference between these loops (bent
1/2 wavelength) and the MFJ and AEA loops is that the MFJ/AEA loops are very
small (36 inches) and are considered magnetic loops, not like the larger
electrical loops. If your planning to go portable with the 817 and a loop,
You might want to consider the magnetic loop. An 80 meter dual coil
magnetic loop is about 42 inches in diameter!!

I have been reading about loops in various antenna handbooks.
Not only are they useful at HF, VHF and UHF ops can use them
very effectivly (unfortunatly my balcony is too small for a
20 meter loop, and it has a metal screened door...drat!)...
Anyway, here are 2 manufacturers of loops if you aren't the
do it yourself type (from my goodies list):
