Want To Build a Directional, Amplified Medium Wave Receiving Antenna - Where To Start?

Wavelength of the wire is almost meaningless Dan.
684 feet of wire wound in a 3 foot diameter coil is still just a three
foot diameter loop antenna.
It will have about the same pattern and same sensitivity as a single
turn, assuming you can match and resonate each of them.
So you are really asking if a 3 foot diameter loop will work, and the
only reliable answer is "maybe".
