I suppose a bit more context would be explanatory. My real interest is not the free-space performance of the antenna, but the eventual installed performance. In the video describing the setup he says "I talked with a couple of engineers, and some other guys, and we've come to the conclusion that if I put 100 watts into it, it might radiate a milliwatt. And not all that well." I'm not sure if they were thinking of it as a magnetic loop antenna the way you described or coming up with the numbers some other way. But then at the end mentions, "I'm gonna set it on the top part of that air conditioner and put it right in the window." How much of his success is a result of sticking the antenna on what may be effectively a (admittedly electrically small compared to 20m) metal box? That's what I think is interesting to simulate.
