Hi all: Here's another strategy: I found that placing (secured with a rubber band) my SRF-59 on top (dead-center) of my Quantum Loop head not only provides a handy 3-D tilting mechanism, but also the Quantum Loop couples with the SRF-59's internal loop to provide a lot of gain, even with the power off. Turning the Quantum Loop on, one can use the Q-Multiplier to really narrow the bandwidth, since the Quantum Loop appears to pretty much overwhelm the SRF-59's internal ferrite loop and dictate the IF bandwidth. Alternately, detuning the Quantum Loop away from the desired frequency simply reverts the Quantum Loop to a 360 degree tilting apparatus, since there is no coupling. I would imagine this would work with a Palomar or other loop as well.
