An untuned loop should exhibit no resonances in its usable range. See http://www.ets-lindgren.com/page/charts.cfm?i=6511 . Also, A Novel Standard Loop Antenna for Antenna Calibration in the MF and HF Bands, ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/10111/32404/01513478.pdf

Amateurs have used home-made loops to get pretty accurate measurements of BPL emissions. http://vk1od.net/antenna/SmallUntunedSquareLoop/index.htm

One of his loops, 600mm square, has an AF flat within one dB from about 5.5 to 30 MHz ( http://vk1od.net/antenna/SmallUntunedSquareLoop/Loop600.pdf ).

True for electric antennas, I think, but not for magnetic. Tuned loops and ferrite-rod antennas can have high Q. CISPR 16 includes at least one magnetic antenna, although it may well not be high Q.
