Although the smaller antennas work I have found the signals are well down 
compared  to the larger wire antennas.
My 40 metre resonated loop on 500 Kcs   is not as good as the 1/4 wave inv 
L, also I have noticed small loops in the target direction are well down on 
the bigger wire antennas. I am talking about weak signal detection.
