Okay, group. Two more questions:

1. Since most magnetic loops are handheld or mounted on short tripods and thus close to the ground, what kind of take-off angle do they have? Or does it matter?

2. Is a wire dipole in an attic in close proximity to house wiring, an AC/Heating Unit, foil covered ducting, metal vents and a boatload of stored items hooked to 65' of coax going to be drastically better than a small magnetic loop antenna set up on my patio using 6' of coax?
