[TowerTalk] K6STI Receiving loop question

[Dave Quick]

I recently put up a K6STI loop for 80m. It's about 8 feet off the ground
and built according to the plans in the Sep. 95 issue of QST. It's 21
feet on each side and I used 450 ladder (window) line and a 77 mix
ferrite bead for the transformer.

My problem is that I can't get the SWR below about 3:1 or so. I do get a
dip as I adjust the cap, but never below 3:1. I'm guessing that I need
to adjust the turns ratio of the transformer, which is 4 turns to 10
turns as the QST article specifies, but I'm not sure which way to go
with the turns ratio. 

Does anyone have an advise for me?

Thanks.
