Topband: REVISIT Small Rx Loop

[Jimmy]

All, 
I am having some problems getting a small 160 mtr. Rx Loop ---- built from ARRL Antenna Handbook --- to resonate. 
The loop is made from 20 ft. of RG-59 with a 170-800 pf variable cap for tuning. Support is made from 1 inch PVC pipe. The loop will not resonate anywhere in the band. 
I would like to converse direct to keep unnecessary traffic from the reflector. 
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all
Jimmy
