[Elecraft] Magnetic Loop question

[Bill Leonard N0CU]

"The polarization does not matter to radiation pattern. "

This isn't the case for most antennas we use which launch an electromagnetic
wave by generating an electric field. Ground characteristics affect the
pattern of a vertically polarized wave much more than they affect a
horizontally polarized wave for these types of antennas. The mag loop
however, as I understand it, launches an EM wave by generating a magnetic
field. Do the ground characteristics not affect the pattern of a magnetic
field the way they do an electric field? If they do have the same affect,
then the above statement isn't true.
