my antenna is in the middle of Warsaw. i live in an old 
socialist apartment complex (steel-reinforced concrete etc), 
and unfortunately only e-field antennas work here, because the qrm from my 
neighbours is screened by the building. b-field antennas pick up too much 
qrm here, and this effect is getting worse every year (in 2005 i could 
pick up SAQ with a loop on my balcony, now i see a trace, but can't decode 
it).
maybe someday i can setup a rx station far away from civilisation, and 
this will have crossed loops and an e-field antenna, but for now i have to 
make the best of what i have.
