Yes loops can work on SW. Mine actually works on SW, but it's extremely inefficient. Completely wrong inductance. The idea of bringing in further capacitance and switching wires is a good idea. I've seen a few web pages where this has been done. One HAM out there really built a monster loop. with receive amps and various tuning gangs etc. etc. for various bands.

Plan it out and post about it. I'd be interested Icon_wink
