I am using a loop that is cut at 270 feet and it works great on 80 through 6
meters.

For some reason I remember reading, listening , to a few months old QST 
where they were saying the 468 didn't hold in all cases.  I also took 80 
meters times 39 and then divided by 12 and got within decimal points of the 
same numbers.  I know 39 inches isn't exactly the number of inches in a 
meter but amazing how close it came out.
Man using 1005 calls for 279 feet that's 19 feet longer than the other way. 
Almost a ten percent difference.
Maybe it's going to come down to cut and try with the antenna analyzer.
