You can put away the tin foil! The lines of force arriving thousands of
miles away are not going through your loop; they are closed loops that
are no more than half a wavelength across in the direction of travel.
That's the difference between near and far fields.
On the other hand, that thought may make the tin foil more desirable!

I worked a couple of DL's using my K2 @ 5W and AlexLoop from a summit in
SE New Mexico on 15. Kind of sobering to realize that all the lines of
force going everywhere several thousand miles away come together through
the center of the little loop directly over my head, and a tinfoil hat
won't help.
