HI, if you have the demo EZNEX program (free to use) I will send you a EZNEC fille you can put into your program and it will display some of the loop antennas in question....
I suggest you try a K9AY antenna, it is not a loop but a triangle, I used for a receiving (cannot transmit on it) for several years, it is very good, when I first connected to my receiver (Drake R4B) thought something in the receiver was not working, there was hardly any noise... Check the Internet for construction.

thanks for the reply. I would love to cut it for 80 meters,
however, probably going to have to stick with 40 on up. I
understand about the cloudwarmer effect and the higher the better,
so I guess we will just have to play with it a bit. Are you aware
of any dummy proof ant programs on the internet that would help? I
have played with the EZNEC demo program and I am not familar enough
with that one to make it work. thanks again
