Sounds like a load of bullsh*t to me. Assuming the man-made
noise is still a propagating EM wave, how can they not have an
electric field?

The basic question is probably: Does an incoming EM wave couple
more of its magnetic field than its electric field into a small
loop (magnetic) antenna?


Well i found this site:

Which says that the loop antenna will perform better than a
dipole when close to the ground plane. But this doesn't prove that
man-made noise doesn't have an electric field component.

Isn't it supposed to be just the opposite? - the local noise has
a high E-field component and a low H-field component?

I suppose that's what the original poster claims.

This seems to have more to do with polarization than whether or
not man-made noise has a stronger E-field component in the near field.
