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

Bill,
Start with AM broadcast and work from there, since that is your primary
goal. My smallest loop for AM (2.5 x 3 feet) has a tap for 160, but it
doesn't work very well there. These loops seem to work best on AM
broadcast and below - not as effective on the higher bands. So, take it
in steps, and you will end up with a loop that suits your needs. Plus -
they are lots of fun to experiment with. I have downloaded all of Reg
Edwards programs (I use RJELOOP3 for loops) just in case his website
suddenly goes away. If/when that happens, I will put all of them on my
own website so that everyone will still have access to them.
