This puts you right on the page for a 16:1 transformer. They're
pretty inexpensive.

Subject: [IRCA] 16:1 Matching Transformer for "Superloop"
I've finally decided to try my hand at building a "Superloop"
antenna as described in the October 2009 issue of "Popular
Communications" in an article by Bruce Conti.
In that article he mentions a 16:1 matching transformer made from a
binocular ferrite core and 30 AWG wire. I've never had much luck at
winding my own coils. For my previous "Flag" antenna, I used 16:1
transformers from Mini-Circuits which performed well, but suffered
many failures due our frequent and intense lightning storms here.
Bruce's article mentions that many amateurs are available to make
these coils and easily found on the Internet--but I'm having no luck.
Does anyone out there know someone who makes great 16:1 transformers
for Superloops and would be willing to wind two of them for me?
Happy to pay for the service, and can send funds via PayPal or USPS
money order.
Thanks!
