YODAR,

The "TRICK" to TV 'type' Coax Cable [Shielded] SWL Loop Antennas {RHF}
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/1626

I too tried to build a Coax Cable [Shielded] Loop Antenna
that was made of "TV type Coax" that had a 'Shield' made
of Foil and about 33% Braid. The Results were very poor.

Then I Got An IDEA "*" ! { K I S S }

Why not use "Pre-Made" Parts ) WHAT ?
I used a similar idea for my 3.3' and 7' loops constructed from 3/4" CATV
hardline. A CATV junction box for the termination and wideband preamp ( no
tuning) and the standard 3/4" CATV connectors.

Here's some pix:
