The question always is the amount of area inside the loop and keeping the
most distance between opposing sides. There are no tricks or magic. It is
all about low resistance and maximum physical size. More loss will help it
handle more power for a given capacitor voltage, but you don't want that.
All of the tricks like helical winding or multi turns to make a loop "work
better" never actually help, and actually hurt. That's why all the
commercial loops settle on a single largest possible conductor and largest
size design.
The biggest electrical issues will be connection resistances and how well
current and voltages are balanced in the loop, especially in relationship to
the feedline and any mast.

Subject: Topband: Mag loop 400W if possible.
Hi I am in a bit of trouble I will be mooing to a flat/apartment ,so can
anyone give me details of a mag loop that will fit in a room and also be
able to be taken apart and resembled on a beach,will use big vac cap
1000pf 40kv Russian type,any takers,and please dont laugh I love topband.
