Agile modulator antenna Q's

[CJVx]

I have a BT AM-60 modulator set to channel 7. Currently I have a coax connected to a 75ohm-300 ohm matching transformer, then connected a pair of rabbit ears on the 300 ohm screw terminals. Both telescoping antennas set to measure 15.8" each.


An alternative would be to connect this dipole pair directly to the coax center and outer (gnd). not sure if this would be correct or be beneficial to the above setup. Comments?

Also, I want better onmidirectional performance, so if I were to make a loop, how long of wire would i make the loop out of for channel 7, and would I:
A: connect the loop to center of coax to outside of coax (GND)
B: connect coax to matching transformer, connect loop to 300 ohm terminals of matching transformer.

Which way is correct?
