Assuming the following:

1. Noisy, suburban neighborhood
2. 4 foot diameter loop
3. Remote tuned, with trenched coax and isolated connections
at both ends.

Given these parameters can someone tell me if a shielded loop
or an unshielded air core loop would work best? Objective is
weak signal lowfer, MW BCB, and 160 Meter DX receive antenna.
