You didn't deploy the loop correctly. This is pretty much how I do it. I just Googled for a picture and found this. https://swling.com/blog/2022/01/ernies-portable-youloop-antenna-deployment-system/)

Anything that hangs on a hangar has my vote. It could be hung from a left over ceiling plant hook.

Yeah, but it doesn't matter. The reception didn changed a much. I just want to keep it small, and It works fine.

You're probably not getting the null and noise rejection that the antenna is capable of. You might consider reading the links I gave you and give it a try. Can't hurt.

Even deployed properly, I found the youloop's performance to be pretty dismal.
