Can anyone offer any comments on this medium wave antenna ???

I know I always hated hearing this till I've started my own, but make your own
BCB Loop Antenna. :-) Cheap -somewhat easy, I have a little problem with my
arm/hand now so it takes alittle longer.

But type in Loop Antenna in google and you'll get all kinds of info. From me to
you, the simplest and IMO the best way is to make you a PVC Loop JUST FOR the
BCB.

You can make a stand for it to sit behind/around in front of your receiver or
like in my case, I have a turn-table (lazy susan) and have my loop literally
mounted onto the back of my table. With PVC, you can paint it if you want, make
it be able to tilt (which I have found is soooo important) I can literally (if
my table was just a tad higher) I could spin the loop around in a circle-like
upside down...lol.

You can't beat it in my opinion. Good luck in what you do. :-)
