Default Loft Antenna

Why not just string a loop around the top of the highest room in the house,
and feed it with a tuner. In the past I had pretty good results with
this...not as good as a full sized outdoor antenna, but cheap and easy to
install.


One can also use more than one room. It might give a
strange shaped loop but it allows adding more wire
until resonance is achieved on the lowest frequency
of interest. I once used 2 rooms and a hall for my
2nd story loop.

How's that for a loop? Fractal?
