There's almost certainly nothing the matter with it.

You can't expect a small QRP magloop to work as well as a 1/2-wave
vertical with 100 watts.

What makes you think it is not working as well as it ought to? What
have you compared it with?

Hello Reg..
Took your advice and built a magloop......
I`m comparing the magloop to 5watts on a half-size sloping G5RV and i find
the magloop equivalent to the G5RV on R/X.whilst the magloop is inside the
house!!!..
I have a friend about a mile away that i chat to who hears me on the G5RV at
s30+ ......but, not at all on the magloop!!!!......
Why am i not being heard on the magloop???? :-/. H-E-L-P........

Lee.....G6ZSG.....

You may have the null pointed at him. Are you able to work other
stations on the magloop?
