Yeah, from the research I was doing that is what I figured, if I went with a full wave loop for the 11 meter antenna, then I would use a 2:1 balun.
I plan on building 2 separate antennas in my attic, hopefully they will not interfere with each other, one loop antenna tuned specifically for 11 meters, because it will be in attic antenna the plan is to build it precisely as possible, I want the antenna to propagate the best it can only using a tuner if I have to for a safe SWR.
The second antenna, a loop also, as you said pretty much as large as I can, figure I should learn a few tips from the 11 meter build.
I am in the process of ordering the supplies for the antenna build off the internet, I am still researching the antenna analyzer, thank you for your assistance.
BTW, I did a lot of research into car audio SQ, not into the equipment side, but the speaker side, bought an old tube type HP signal generator, RMS analog AC volt meter, and a frequency counter off E Bay so I could build my own custom Zobel networks for my higher frequency speakers, a Zobel network helps to stabilize the impedance that a passive (capacitor(s) and coil(s)) crossover network sees so the network acts stable and only passes the desired frequencies to the speaker (a speakers impedance rises as audio frequency to the speaker rises), I mixed and matched various capacitors and resistors and charted the results until I found the optimum components, I made a lot of mistakes and endless experimenting (which is what I was trying to avoid here), but I eventually pretty much figured it out. If I ever get this entire design installed in my newer vehicle I think it would be really special ... figuring this experience will prove to be helpful, as mentioned, I am far from an electrical guru, always found antennas and speakers interesting, looking forward to the long wave build.
