Default Horizontal loop antenna

You must have some radiation resistance or you have no signal, but not
all antennas are highly directional.

Page 8-10 of the 20th edition of the ARRL Antenna Book has (Eq 5):
Efficiency = radiation resistance / radiation resistance + loss
resistance

Zero radiation resistance = zero efficiency.
