60 feet is too short. Even if you have radical bends a longer wire will
work better. You could always try the loop.

Well - yes, it's too short - and yet it still overloads all of my
radii with signals from 50 kW 1100 AM about 2 miles away...and that's
just the beginning. RF Hell is right here.

I do have a QSL from them though, and for a signal that was
considerably weaker than this one :-)
