"Long Loopstick AM Radio Antenna
http://www.circuitdb.com/show.php?cid=171
Description
Wound on a 3 foot length of PVC pipe, the long loopstick antenna was
an experiment to try to improve AM radio reception without using a
long wire or ground. It works fairly well and greatly improved
reception of a weak station 130 miles away. " - - - Copyright 1997

Thanks for the link. Haven't done the algebra yet, but maybe I can wrap
a longer+narrower loopstick and use it as a hiking stick!
