Thanks!
I think I will still try to build the vertical version to try.

Hi Mike,
A horizontally polarized loop -- or any other horizontally polarized
160 meter antenna -- has extremely poor sensitivity when installed
less than about 0.1 wavelenght above the ground. Even if you raise
a horizontally polarized loop to about 0.1 wavelength (50 feet on 160
meters) it will be a poor antenna for DXing because of its insensitivity
to low angles of arrival.

Has anyone tried a loop like this in the Horizontal plane? I suppose
if one had an AZ mount they could try it from horizontal to Vertical.
His flag build was in the July 2015 QST.
