For what it is worth I would suggest that people simply report the bearings of maximum signals and stop reporting things as "null maximums". Simply report a direction for the
*maximum signals ! *Of course (generally) when using a loop there usually be a second maximum point about 180 degrees away. I live in an RF rich area with a number of geographic obstructions so I often find the opposing maximum points will show slightly different signal levels and azimuths. Using consistent reporting should help those trying to triangulate the source for the mystery signals. Most of us know that the null points will be generally about 90 degrees away from the maximums. Obviously competing signal sources can distort this relationship.
