Hmm, this seems to go against all the advice I've gotten so far, about
getting as much of the antenna outside as possible...I find it hard to
believe that an active antenna is going to get better reception than a
75' wire, but if it does, than it does...

Please don't cross post.

A small (shielded) active loop will pick up less local noise than the
other type of antenna unless you can get the other antenna farther away
from all the local noise sources. If you can do that, then the other
gentlemen's advice applies.
