I'm prone to believe that on high bands a simple 1/4WL vertical already 
radiates a much bigger energy than an horizontal loop (like the 
mentioned ones) on angles below 15 degrees, requires a smaller area to 
be installed, doesn't require any support, the azimutal coverage is 
smooth along the whole 360 deg.
Just my opinion.

73,
