Sorry if this was already answered... Yes, a full wave loop (in feet) is
1005/freq.  The quad loop is two dipoles stacked on top of each other.

Hi Guys,
It was Howard that mentioned the full size loop.  Is the formula for a loop
1005 divided by frequency? Now the formula for a half wave dipole is 4 68
divided by frequency.  My next question is why is the loop more than twice
as long as the dipole? Seems like a full size antenna should only be twice
as long.  I am not an engineer though.  73
