This is a horizontal square loop elevated to about 50 feet with the help of nicely positioned first trees in the corner positions. It was not a perfect square, more of a rhombus shape but that does not matter too much as long as it does not deviate too much from squareness (or roundness). Unfortunately, we had to take down one of the fir trees so I lost a key anchor for one corner. But, I consider these to be the best wire antennas for all HF bands.
