However, the Waller Flag is a dual loop that trades off signal for
pattern.  The LOG simply throws away signal due to attenuation of
the dirt.

The LOG is a horizontally polarized antenna nearly on the "boundary"
where the horizontally polarized signal goes to zero.  The better
the ground (higher conductivity), the worse (lower) the signal level
from the LOG  (thank you Dr. Maxwell).
