John,
That makes sense. At MW especially the additional capacitance could
be problematical. At lower frequencies it might actually prove
beneficial to some degree.

I was treating the telephone wire as if it was one
cable. Since I was establishing the correct length of
wire by trial and error it was easier that way. I
also theorized that the four wires were so close
together that there would be a stray capacitance
problem if I actually used them as separate windings.

John,
Very impressive looking antenna. One question...
Why did you connect the 4-conductor cable wires in
parallel? I assume
to resonate the loop.
I am thinking of something similar but series
connected and untuned.
