Default Slinky vs. Magloop on 80M question

I live on a small plot in a canyon (very steep canyon walls), and
between the tiny plot, CC&R's, and the very strong likelyhood of a
local chapter of Busybodies, Snoops and Ham-Haters (Local 557) being
present, the logical choice of antenna for 80M seemed to be either a
Magloop or a 6-slinky antenna w/a tuner, located inside the garage
running across the roof peak (only 20 feet).

Tried the slinky w/tuner, it loaded up just fine, but it turned out to
be a very good dummy load on 80M, and little else. Noisy as all
getout, too, mostly just gets local QRN.

Question: Will the 80M Magloop be any better, or should I just save my
effort and try something else?

Thanks to the group,

Lin/KJ6EF
