You CAN transmit with both.

And, only emphasizes the importance of what I have been saying, most
would pick the most efficient possible antenna--both examples, of yours,
are less than most efficient ... even for receiving, the ferrite
loop-stick on an a AM/MW radio is far from first choice ... it is
convenient, cheap and highly-portable, however.
