Topband: Mag loop 400W if possible.

[Tom W8JI]

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.
