[Elecraft] Mag Loop

Dear Fred,
     You are watching too much of "Better Call Saul" which is filmed in your
fair state, the land of enchantment.

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!
