2 - there are 2 conductors carrying current in opposing directions effectively canceling the field.

I don't think it works like that.

What you "think" doesn't matter as it's wrong.

You might not think it does, but the reality of it is, cowboyro is quite correct.

The primary factor required in order to generate a decent amount of a radiated signal, canceling excluded, is one needs a radiator tuned to the to the frequency to be radiated, which for a 60Hz quarter wave antenna is roughly 4 million feet, and unless you are dealing with a rather large structure I am willing to bet that is probably not going to be found in a straight run.

I'm talking about how a circuit cancels each other out.

and yet my AM radio picks up 60hz hums all the time.

The AM radio is capable of picking up signals well below 1uV/m
An AM radio is also capable of picking a noise from a common electronic wrist watch.
