Robert 11,
Just post here in response to your prior questions along
the same line about Loop Antennas.
READ - The In-the-Attic Horizontal [Flat] Loop Antenna
- Just may be the better choice to fill the available space.

Intuitively {To My Way of Thinking} for an In-the-Attic Antenna
the Horizontal [Flat] Loop Antenna offers these Benefits :
1. Higher Signal Levels due to the fact for the available space
there is simply more Wire in the Air.
2 Equally as Low Noise Characteristics as a Dipole due to the
natural 'balanced' properties of a Loop and that it is a DC Short
for Static Bleed-Off.
3. Greater Antenna Aperture {Signal Capture Area} due to the
natural shape and size of a Loop in any given space; with less
apparent signal fading.
hope this helps - iane ~ RHF
