Re: loop material question

So the loop would resemble something like . The antenna in the picture is horizontally mounted but can be mounted vertically as well. There are manuals on the web as the Isoloop has not been manufactured in decades. Tubing gives a bit more structural regidity but there is no reason why a flat strip of the proper type of metal cannot work as long as properly supported.

It would be left flat. Not tubular. So it would be a circle of 6” wide copper sheet I have a lot of scrap laying around. Mainly my question is does the element need to be round. ?My loop would be more like a tunnel I suppose. Instead of using tubular material I’m going to use flat metal. Wondering how wide would be too wide. I’m pretty much unlimited in the diameter I could make it. Was thinking about staying at 1m-1.5m diameter.?
