Brian,

I was so pleasantly pleased to see your reply, not so with your results yet none the less what a pleasure to finally receive "any" response related to my specific inquire...for that sincere appreciation!

Well here in a small city lot with it's share of overhead power, cable, telephone lines I am seeking to improve my lower band receiving situation. Running a Mosley TA-33M WARC up on the rooftop and a Butternut HR9V ground mounted?vertical?w/ 125 radials,

I get out...sometimes use the yagi to receive with ?on 30-40-80 meters, but looking for better.

I did build a shielded coaxial loop 20' at 5' per side, notched at top and all one piece of RG-6. The feed line runs directly into shack. Issue is I built no tuning network into it...A surprise to see it does work to a degree, it does reduce the S/N but lacking any tuning abilities.

Its on a 3 foot tripod on ground w/rotor and about 40 feet from vertical.

I have read great reviews and have had conversation with? N6RK, and was going to purchase an assembled unit as now being disabled I am unable to?build and was asking for help with any users experiences.

Possibly you may benefit with the detuning of the transmit antenna, this is not so uncommon, but discouraged with reading your results.

I am thinking something don't sound as it should, I know there are better receiving antenna choices, yet I do not have the room, and even with my poorly constructed loop without any tuning, it did offer some help!

I wish to thank you sincerely for taking your time for your reply...If you get the chance do try the detuning process, I think your loop should do better than you experienced!

I'll post my follow-up experience for what its worth when I put his loop into play here ...Thanks again friend...I wish you luck with your loop there.
