Timbo, I have tried various "longwire" antennas, as long as 50', and they just don't give near the signal and low noise of the simple loop which I described further down in this thread.Hi fidelity is really not needed (bandwidth) for "News, talk, and sports" radio, which is what AM is now. Even considering that, I pick up many stations that sound nearly as good as FM.
An AM "longwire" will need to be 50-144 YARDS long.
Also, for a "loop" to work, it must be connected to both the AM and Ground terminals on your receiver or tuner.
Let's see if I can get the photo of my loop to work now.
