Default DIY antenna that works like MTM Loop Antenna

That will work if that's what you want to do. The radio's ferrite
antenna replaces the 2 turn pickup loop. If you want to be able to do
both, include the pickup loop anyway.



Being a noob in electronics (was never trained in that context), I need
to do my homework to understand your replies. Thanks!


Sorry, what that means is all you need to do is place the radio near the
loop, just like you mentioned earlier. If you want to connect to output
of the loop to the antenna input of an AM receiver at some later time,
that will work, too. If you don't think you'll use the output from the
pickup loop, then skip it for now. You can always add it later if you
need it.

Good luck.
