Thanks Gary.
It's very low impedance at the feed points and I can see the relevance of the 10 ohms at lower frequencies, the snag is roll off the higher you go. Mine is giving useful gain at 6 meters and about par with a halo loop on VHF FM frequencies. I suspect the 10 ohms would be lowering signals from 20mhz upward. I regularly use it on all the amateur bands and I've got switching between the loop and vertical antenna between TX & RX.
