Correction, a magnetic loop is Not Too Small for these bands, there is no set size for a magnetic loop antenna. Just like any other antenna, the size is governed by what frequency is being used. A loop made from 2 inch aluminum with a length of 80 feet, 24.1 feet in circumference is smaller than a Yagi or quad loop for 160 meters and it is 63% efficient. Not too bad I think.

To small for these bands, but has anyone ever built a loop using one of those spring loaded sun shades for your car as the frame? ?The sun shades I am talking about are the ones you have to twist into a collapsed figure eight to store. ?It seems like that would be a very lightweight and compact solution.
