As far as I know ...
The Adcock DF works with signals, which are reflected at the ionosphere and with ground wave signals ... the loop antenna works only wich ground wave signals, not with bounced signals from ionosphere ...
and, by the way, the Doppler DF works also only with ground wave signals ... so for long distance DF at shortwave, the best (and only good) working DF ist the Adcock system ...
sorry about my poor english :)

How does yagi-uda antenna differ from a folded dipole a loop antenna and a helical antenna?
Wow, your question on how a yagi-uda differs from a folded dipole, a loop antenna, and a helical antenna relates very much to how does a lawn mower engine relate to a V-8. The principals in all the antennas remains much the same. So I will deal with them in the order asked. The Yagi in its simplest form consists of 3 elements. The center element is the driven element and is essentially a dipole. Behind it is a slightly larger element called a reflector which does just that, it reflects signals to and from the dipole and in front there is the smaller director which helps focus energy. This is a directional antenna with gain. The folded dipole goes back to the basic dipole except it has makes a full loop. They are just as about as long as regular dipoles. With the loop of wire out there, they tend to have a wider band width than regular dipoles - but are not as tolerant of being used at even multiples of their cut frequency as the wires tend to cancel out each other. Oh, btw, yagi's have been made using folded dipoles. You must use ladder line or a 4:1 balun on folded dipoles, with perhaps the exception of the terminated folded dipole which has a resistor where the two elements of the dipole come together. The loop antenna? Which loop? I assume you are talking the traditional loop and not the magnetic loop. The full loop is normally computed to be 1005/frequency=feet. While you could take the time to tune the antenna, it might just be easier to put in a balun and an antenna tuner. The main advantage of a loop over the previous reviewed antennas is that it does fairly well even though fairly close to the ground where the previous 2 antennas should be at least 1/2 a wave length up for good performance. Helical antennas are generally good for just one band. In fact, due to the loading they cause they are best if used on a single frequency as their feed line requires them to be provided the connecting feed the is the electrical equivalent of a 1/2 wave at that frequency of operation. This may work well at VHF and above as an entire band can be tuned satisfactory, but in HF it would limit you to a very small segment of the band. Helical antennas definitely are the lawn mower engines of the antenna world. Look up antenna elmer on your favorite search engine. You have entered into a world where there is still a lot homework left to be done.
I live in an apartment that does not have connection to an antenna via a wall and i use an indoor antenna insted but my reception is still quite fuzzy How can I improve my tv reception?
A powered antenna will do wonders over a non amplified one. The powered ant. has a amplifier that has to be plugged into the wall to work.
What episode of Stargate SG-1 did they repeat their mission?
season 4 has an episode called "window of opportunity" where they are stuck in a time loop. They have to repeat this mission over and over and over.
Up to which frequency does the gain of an antenna increase as the frequency increases?
In general, an antenna is "cut" or "built" for one frequency, or for a band of frequencies centering on one particular frequency. This antenna will respond to all frequencies, but will only exhibit "maximum" gain at one frequency. Frequencies higher or lower will not be received quite as well, and the farther from the "tuned" or "center" frequency the signal is, the less gain the antenna will provide on that frequency. As we work with an omnidirectional antenna, we can "tinker" with it a bit in an attempt to get it to work with a broader range of frequencies, but as we broaden the usable spectrum over which it will work, we will see less gain on the "center" frequency. If you're getting the idea that tuning an antenna involves trade-offs, you're getting the right picture. No improvements are possible without "cost" in another part of the operating spectrum. If we move to a directional TV antenna like, say, one of those antennas (not the dish) that still can be seen on some rooftops, we see what is basically a modified log periodic antenna. This antenna will generally be "pointed" or "aimed" in the general direction of the transmission antenna of the station(s) for which reception is desired. Stations with broadcast antennas to the side or the rear of this antenna won't be "seen" as the antenna is highly directional. Having said all that to get you up to speed on some fundamental concepts of the antenna, as we move up the frequency spectrum (starting "low"), the gain of the antenna will increase until we reach the "center" or the "tuned" frequency for that antenna. After that, increasing the frequency will result in signals with increasingly lower gain.
What distinct advantage did industralized European have over the non-industralized nations of Asia and Africa?
A Well-defined infrastructure.
What is a loop?
A loop is something that goes over and over infinity
What are the advantages of using a foreach loop over a for or while loop for processing list elements?
foreach can simply replace for loop. for ex in perl, if you need to copy display an array, it will take only foreach $var(@arr). then print $var. no need of incrementing the index of array like for loop.
How do you start finger knitting?
You wrap the wool twice around your finger, then put the back loop over, then loop one more, back loop over, and so on.

A Loop.
What is he do loop?
A "do" loop is a construct in a programming language that lets you repeat instructions over and over, as long as a certain condition is true. The details vary, depending on the programming language.

What is meant by zero overhead loop?
the term zero over head looping means that the processor can execute loops without consuming cycles to test the value of loop counter , perform a conditional branch to the top of the loop and decrement the loop counter.
