Drifting the thread slightly: I read an article recently regarding 2 loops of 15ft square separated by 15ft which the author called Loop On Ground, LOG. He claimed good results on receive over a period of a year. It was very low gain but had directional properties and was said to be quiet. I can't lay my hands on the site just now, but it might be of interest.
