Thank You all for your input. I have decided to Build a tuning AM Loop. It
doesn't seem like it should too big of a project. It would be nice to
have
the capability of tuning and I may mess with trying to make it tune some
of
the lower Shortwave bands as well. Thanks again for all the input. Great
bunch of people in here

One more thing: US Coast Guard ships have what they call a mini-loop HF
antenna. It is about four feet in diameter and mounted vertically and
that's all I know about it. (I did an electronic systems inspection on a
couple of cutters and I know they have the loops for hf xmit.)
