That gives me an idea. If constructing a loop for 20 meters (or any of the higher frequency ham bands above 14 MHz) isn't too difficult, I might try to make one. I live in an apartment building and cannot use outdoor antennas, so my Icom IC-725 all-band 100-watt rig has been in storage literally for years, all my hamming these days being done on 2 meters (I am a member of the local ham club and use their repeater on occasion) and Echolink (a computerized amateur radio linking system) for HF; my node number is shown after my signature. I think I'm better off DXing with Echolink since there is no antenna (or problems attendant to it) to contend with, and of course no TVI or RFI problems. Been in ham radio 40 years, got my first license in 1972.
