For some reason, the signal on the little loop doesn't fluctuate nearly as much as the big antenna. I don't know, but for three days now on the little one, I've had a steady 67 Q reading through two big thunderstorms. I may just leave the little one up and go with what works.

You could try a vibration test on the elements, w/ something non-conductive, such as a yardstick, but don't whack anything too hard.
