How much improvement can I expect using Litz wire to wind a AM ferrite
Rod antenna as opposed to using solid copper wire?

Is it worth the trouble to obtain Litz wire, or can I expect almost
the same response at say 1 MHz using regular enamaled copper wire?

I think you will find some degradation in the Q and more interwinding
capacitance.
The extra interwinding capacitance might make it more difficult to tune the
upper
end of the AM band. (If you are trying to tune 540khz to 1710khz.)
Run some tests on a loop from an existing AM loop coil with litz wire, then
rewind it
with solid wire. Let us know the results.
