   In that case it could be many things that cause the smaller loop to be more   
   accurate.  One more thing to think of - the feed line may be picking up some   
   signal causing inaccuracy or broader nulls.   
      
   But in any case, if you've been getting results from your tests that have   
   only 1 degree error you're doing extremely well.  Like many things, the   
   effort/expense to results scale is logarithmic.  :-)
