What size would you suggest for 80M?

Due to numerous requests, I have posted a schematic
of the 160 meter receiving loop antenna that I used in
the recent Stew Perry contest.  This is what worked
(well) for me.  As always, YMMV.

The feed system seems intuitively obvious to me but
no one seems to do it this way.  Don't ask me why :-)
The 4 foot size was chosen because this was originally
a 2.5 MHz loop for receiving WWV.  For 160m, you might
want to make a somewhat bigger loop to get more output,
although this size was adequate.
