A loop can be very efficient to null out one source of QRM/QRN, due to the
very sharp minimum. Further is is rather insensitive to local electric
field QRN, provided the shielding is good. 
But the maximum of a loop is very broad so I'm afraid it won't give any
improvement in regard with atmospheric QRN.

Maybe a phased array improve SNR due to directivity, at least for those who
have the space and a several 100m of coax.
