[QUOTE="dxhound2003, post: 1067013, member: 232371"] For Medium Wave and Long Wave a loop antenna is more effective than a long wire in some cases. It can null out stations and bring in other stations on the same frequency. Using my loop I can null out RTE Radio which is 50 miles away and hear Algeria on 252 kHz. The internal ferrite antenna in transistor radios does the same thing. When conditions are good I can hear Canadian and US stations, e.g. VOCM 590 kHz and WINS 1010 kHz using just the internal antenna on my Grundig Satellit 700. It needs very careful rotation of the radio to peak the signal and/or reduce interference from nearby European stations e.g. Spain 585 kHz. There are great videos on YouTube showing transatlantic MW reception, especially in Scotland. [/QUOTE]
