Most of us these days are using SDR receivers and want to look at a wider piece of spectrum than the small amount you will see with a tuned loop. Are we going forward, or backwards?

As a bonus you also get protection from out of band signals overloading the front end of your rx by virtue of the antenna acting as a narrow RF filter.

You can get a lot more signal out of a given loop if you tune it.
Also,?you get 9 dB additional signal every time you double
the diameter of the loop.
Do you have some requirement that prevents you from simply using a tuned loop?
On n6rk.com you can find my article on building tuned loops.
Many people have duplicated this design.
