I built one of those loops, never got around to making the amplifier though. I think I have all or most of the parts for it. The loop if constructed properly does null very well but so do phasers. I've never done a side by side comparison but I get very good nulls with the Quantum Phaser and it's very simple, has a gain control for each antenna, a phase relationship control and a reverse switch. I live approx 200 miles from NY and at night probably because of both ground wave and sky wave I sometimes have to constantly change the balance between antennas on certain stations to maintain a null. I have the same problem with the loop also. I get much more gain with the two 400' LW's than with the loop though. There is a horrendous buzz here between 500 and 580 and I am able to completely null it out
