Magnetic Loop. First impressions.

Yesterday I finished building my Magnetic Loop. I will provide all the details later, as soon as prepare pictures for the article. Now I would like to say the following: the tiny (in comparison to the half-wave dipole) antenna placed only two foot above the ground among a lot of trees and buildings is able to receive signals from all around the world! I tried it for transmission (FT8, driving 10 watts), but almost unsuccessfully - a lot of people heard me but only a few contacts appeared on my log. Next time I'll try to run in from the top of some building to ensure that the height of the antenna above the ground does matter.
