 Hi Richard,
The small magnetic loop has a lower RDF (RX Directivity Factor- see the W8JI 
site or ON4UN's LF book) than does the K9AY- so not as good using that 
figure of merit: 7.2 vs 4.0
The Pixel and Wellbrook loops are nice I am sure, but you can build your own 
shielded active broadband loop for $25 or so. See:

I have a 3' and a 7' version- pix upon request. Although they don't come 
close to my Beverages, theyt are a nice RX antenna.
