theory you like, and it'll be just as accurate.

(*) Or, from a receiving standpoint, that an antenna responds only to an
H field or it responds more strongly to an H field beyond a fraction of
a wavelength from the antenna.

Upon a cursory search, it appears to me that "H-field antenna" is
probably another (perhaps misleading) term for "small shielded
receiving loop".

Discussions about the latter do seem to have the requisite amount of
lore, mythology, and strenuous disagreements as to just what this sort
of antenna does respond to and how it works.
