opposed ends, comprising:
an elongated bendable band having upper and lower surfaces
and opposed ends, each end defining an opening at the same
opposed end of the main body; and
a loop antenna extending between the surfaces of the band
to receive signals, wherein the antenna has a substantially U-
shaped structure having two opposed ends located at the same
end of the band, each end having an RF coupler extending
through an opening, and wherein the loop antenna extends the
length of approximately less than one-half the length of the
band.
