I was only saying that the near field component can make the total interaction significantly different.
That is not the point here ... whether the antenna is an electric or magnetic radiator, it *will* interact with items in the near field. *Further* the cobweb is an electric radiator just like any other dipole or yagi and will interact with its environment in the same way as any other *reduced size* antenna. Again, the folding may result in some field cancellation in the immediate environment but that is nothing more than a symptom of *reduced efficiency* just like *any other reduced size antenna.* 73, ...

Actually, you have confirmed my point by showing that, in the near field, magnetic loops and electric dipoles interact very differently, thus may have rather different EMC behaviour. I was not disputing that the far field component interacts at short distances. I was only saying that the near field component can make the total interaction significantly different.
