Hi Tom,

Those are some good additional references; thanks. I was surprised to find
that Kraus' antenna book doesn't discuss shielded loops (well, the most
recent/last edition -- I've heard that some material from earlier editions
has been pulled from it). Your explanation matches the 'other Tom's'
explanation, and sounds plausible to me, yet there are others posting here
who seem to disagree. The fact that you have several more theory oriented
books agreeing lends a lot of support to it.

If you do find a PDF version of the section of the King/Mimno/Wings book,
I'd love to get a copy.
