FCC (ANSI C63.4 / C63.10) specifies a 60 cm shielded loop antenna for measuring radiated emissions from 9 kHz to 30 MHz (magnetic field, Rod antennas to measure electric field are not allowed).

The limit is written at 300 meters up to 490 kHz and 30 Meters from 490 kHz to 30 MHz. However, since you tend to be in the magnetic field of the earth we make the measurement at some near field distance of 10 or 3 meters using 40 dB/decade extrapolation factor.

Thanks, but I would find the results difficult to trust, considering the likely background noise level. Also, the field is most likely highly inhomogeneous, so that you can get every result you like (or don't like).
