Yes the Kiwa MW Loop is astonishingly effective. Often beats a well placed
1000 foot beverage.
It is now discontinued, but I think it last sold new for $350.
Now regularly sells used for $700 plus on eBay

Also got a 250 watt MW station Radio Jacuipe, Bahia, Brazil, on my Kiwa

MW
Loop.
That was 3,800 miles from the DX QTH


I've read some great things about that Kiwa MW Loop, isn't that the

pretty
expensive antenna? Like $250-320?
