Kelvin,

I've never used a magnetic loop but I've worked several stations using them 
and they all had amazing signals.  You're quite right about the tuning but 
when it's properly set up, the results are quite astounding for such a small 
antenna.  The signals I heard were comparable to those from a regular 
dipole.
