[Elecraft] (OT) MAG LOOP ANTENNAS

[Fred Jensen]

Technically ... yes.  The main lobe is bi-directional in the plane of 
the loop, and is very [very] broad, it's sometimes hard to discern the 
maximum.  There are two nulls orthogonal to the plane of the loop which 
are very deep and very sharp.   On a few occasions [you can count them 
on the fingers of one hand, even if you're missing a couple of fingers], 
I've been able to null a noise source.  Don't make that maneuver your 
Plan A however.  My mag loop works as well, or better, than my former 
Buddipole.  The big advantages for me are that it is fairly insensitive 
to surroundings including the earth and me, and it is really quick to 
set up and re-pack.
