A circle encloses the
largest area for a given length of material, so the largest
received signal. Loops made of wire are generally square for the
simplest support structure. Loops made of tubing can be
self-supporting and are often squares or octagons using 90 or 45
degree elbows to avoid having to bend tubing.? With a metal
shop, you are pretty much unlimited.

Hi
Welcome.
We need much more info on what you intend to make before advice can be reliably given.
Ie.. active pre amped no tune loop antenna,( ie lz1aq type,) high q tuned? Dia of loop, frequencies of interest etc etc.
However, in general there is no such thing as too big a tube diameter.( dia of tube not loop.) Its usually limited by what you have/ can get/ bend/ not worth the effort due to no real world gains, etc.
A name to call you?
Regards Simon g0zen
