The prototype antenna performs very well. When compared to the multi-band GP, it always produces stronger signal and has always lower level of background noise. It happens that I can hear a signal on a multi-loop doublet but can not hear it on GP. The vertically polarized antennas are electrically noisy. Multi-loop doublet can replace a multi-dipole (a.k.a. fan dipole), it is smaller and it does not require any trimming.

P.S. When I was designing this antenna, I had limited knowledge about the ferrite core inductors. Since that time, I have made some progress in that field (see the TFCI calculator) and I would design the transformers differently now. My present recommendation is:
TR1 through TR3 - core: Fair-Rite 43 material, 1.4" O.D. (part number: 5943002701), winding: 10 turns of 2 insulated wires (thick, high voltage insulation), d/D ratio equal to 0.4-0.55, where d is the conductor diameter and D the insulation jacket diameter.
