Radio enthusiasts, how does the vertical loop antenna drum work in the Oceanic Surcouf?

Every AM loop antenna I have ever seen always had a horizontally oriented axis.

The reason for this is that AM transmitters generally transmit with a vertical mast, which polarizes the magnetic field into horizontal magnetic field line circles.

I can't help but wonder if French transmitters used a different polarization, perhaps with some other benefit that I am not aware of, like lower noise, better imunity from fading, or rejection of stations with a conventional polarization.

What bands is the drum for?

Regards,

-Joe

Ich besitze ein Gerät des gleichen Typ , jedoch mit einer drehbaren Ferrit- Antenne , statt der üblichen Trommel wie auf dem Foto abgebildet.
