The loop you reference is a broadband, amplified, rx only loop - not really a 
(small tuned) magnetic loop. 

I use an LZ1AQ setup with a horizontal loop, vertical loop and a vertical 
dipole - switchable via the LZ1AQ's onboard input relays.

Both loops are significantly less “noisy" than the dipole and the vertical loop 
is usually quieter than the horizontal loop.

I also have a rotatable, vertically mounted, small tuned loop (MFJ) which can, 
at times, beat the LZ1AQ loops on rx SNR because of the tuning - the tradeoff, 
of course, being bandwidth limits.
