	A loop (loops, probably) of wire, shielded ageainst E Field pick up.
	'active' means it has a built in preamp.

>>Can they be used in TC research?
	At a great distance.  8)>>
	It would be real easy to blow the amp...

	Tend to agree, tho it might make a useful 'front end' to a 'scope.
	At 10 KHz to 30 MHz, it could be used to check for strays and
	harmonics up thru the broadcast and shortwave band.  And, if an
	audio/rf spectrum analyzer showed up at the next hamfest....
