SGC sells such a loop for portable use. I don't know how well it works. Probably not as good as a full size loop but no doubt much better than the miniature single turn loops. The multiturn loop have been used successfully for 80 and 160 meter reception.

Has anyone ever tried a multi turn horizontal loop for HF transmission and reception? I can't recall having heard mention of anything like that being done. I'm talking about 2 or 3 closely spaced turns that resonate on (say) 80 meters, at a height of 25 ft or so. I guess if it were feasible, people would be doing it. I know I could just give it a try, but thought I'd ask here first in case I am considering trying something previously proven not to work... Thanks Bill K3UJ
