>An important point is folklore has it that a loop is quieter by gender...
K6STI:
In general, the folklore is wrong. However, there does exist a special kind
of loop that greatly minimizes response to local noise while maintaining
strong response to skywave signals. See the September 1995 issue of QST for
a description of it and a technical explanation of how it works.
