Does anyone know why the distributed winding capacitance of a loop
antenna, or any inductor, degrades the efficiency?

Hi Bill.
I agree with your assertion that distributed winding capacitance
degrades efficiency.
My thoughts about this are ;
Assume a 10 turn loop, between each turn there is a capacitance,
so, you have a complete circuit, (L,C,R) there is current
flowing through this circuit that is not flowing through the entire 10
turn loop. (this happens in the other 9 turns also)
I think these extra currents flowing that don't make the entire 10
turn circuit increase the losses.

Anyone care to run with that, or explain it more clearly, or shoot it
down.
