So, Tom, would it be safe to conclude from your analysis that there is
no real benefit to shielding the loop? If the real benefit comes from the
pattern, then shouldn't an unshielded loop properly isolated from the
feedline have the same sharp bi-directional null as a properly balanced
shielded loop? IOW, is the shield nothing more than a lucky charm
that makes people feel good or does it actually do something beneficial?
Thanks,
