[Elecraft] Mag Loop

[David Woolley]

You can put away the tin foil!  The lines of force arriving thousands of 
miles away are not going through your loop; they are closed loops that 
are no more than half a wavelength across in the direction of travel. 
That's the difference between near and far fields.

On the other hand, that thought may make the tin foil more desirable!
