Obviously, the receiver has no antenna input jack. Thus throw all the loop
antenna suggestions out the window, unless you want to try and teach him
how to make a ferrite bar coupling loop.
People should take time to read thoroughly before they post solutions that
won't work.
The long wire inductively coupled is the best solution for his problem, not
a loop or a new radio.
The Select-A-Tenna couples inductively to the radio. (there's a deluxe
model that does offer a direct connection to an antenna input jack)
I've seen it in use, and it *does* work as advertised. It's no
substitute for a Beverage, but it's a worthwhile improvement.
