[Elecraft] cobweb antenna

[David Woolley]

Actually, you have confirmed my point by showing that, in the near 
field, magnetic loops and electric dipoles interact very differently, 
thus may have rather different EMC behaviour.  I was not disputing that 
the far field component interacts at short distances.  I was only saying 
that the near field component can make the total interaction 
significantly different.
