How to make an antenna for receiving (only) broadcast AM

"Beverage antennas are highly directional." Living in Portugal in the 1950`s, I used a Beverage antenna to listen to the CBS Evening News from WCBS in New York, and WWL in New Orleans. Whenever one station faded, I just rocked the dial and the other station would be there. Portugal is on Greenwich time so the Evening News was around midnight local time. By then, most of the Europeans had signed off. All you must have for a Beverage antenna is a long wire, say 2 wavelengths long, aimed at the targeted broadcaster.
