Julian,
I think (if I have it right) that a single turn loop is seen electrically as a half wave stub antenna with one end being 0v (ground) and the other end being 'hot' at the resonant frequency, (you may also need to take the connecting wires into account unless they are kept parallel to act as a feeder) if you have more than a single turn then you start to get capacitance between the turns.
However for our purposes the actual frequency is irrelevant provided it is well above the range we are interested in.
