Many textbooks and webpages quote a formula for the inductance of a thin wire hoop, but few actually give the derivation. David Gibson had been confused by formulas that appeared to differ by a factor of two but has eventually decided where the subtle difference lies. This leads to an interesting possibility for the design of a wideband loop antenna with a lower Q-factor than is normally achievable.
