Sounds like a load of bullsh*t to me. Assuming the man-made

electric field?

The basic question is probably: Does an incoming EM wave couple
more of its magnetic field than its electric field into a small
loop (magnetic) antenna?


Well i found this site:

Which says that the loop antenna will perform better than a
dipole when close to the ground plane. But this doesn't prove that
man-made noise doesn't have an electric field component.
