Talk about concealed antenna!
Got one, loop burried around the property perimeter (abt 700 ft), about 1 
inch deep, using it for receiving with good preamp. (Sucks on transmit :-)

It was supposed to be dog radio fence, but dog got smart, didn't need no 
radio fence, so I put abt 600:50 ohm transformer in the loop and works well 
on receive when bands are noisy.
