Hey Jeff,
Is it possible to build a tuned loop connected to the backside of the
radio, to cover the FM band. I never tried a loop at 100Mhz.

Sure. Google for VHF magnetic loop antenna.

They work so-so, but have the same problem as the HF version. The Q
is very high resulting in extremely narrow usable bandwidth. In order
to make it work, there would need to be some way of tuning the loop to
frequency. Making it track the receiver frequency would be a big
plus.

I expected to have a tuning cap on the loop to tune to his frequency
of interest. I don't know about polarization, but he may be able to
rotate out some interference with a loop.
