Topband: loops sharing a small power pole

[K9AY]

Dave,

Things located "inside" the loop will couple efficiently and it won't take
much noise to create a problem.  On the other hand, if the electrical wiring
is quiet, it may work acceptably.  If it's easy to put up the loop, go ahead
and give it a try -- but have an alternate location in mind.
