Loop Antennas, Medium Wave - 120m Band
 

To my delight, I received a Grundig AM/FM/SW radio for Christmas. I have
been wanting a radio like this for some time. Now what I need to do is
construct an external loop antenna because I will be using the radio in my
office and I need to get better reception. The best I can do is locate the
antenna inside the building. Can anyone give me information or steer me to
a good website for loop antenna plans? I'm really most interested in the
medium wave band to 120m band area.

DS,

Which model of Grundig AM/FM/SW Radio did you get for Christmas ?

This focus of this eGroup on YAHOO! is the Shortwave (SW) Antenna;
the Medium Wave (MW) Antenna and the FM Radio Antenna: Theory,
Design, Construction, Use and Application for Shortwave (Radio)
Listeners (SWL) and Medium (Radio) Wave Listeners.
- Medium Wave is better know as the AM Radio Broadcast Band
(BCB) 530-1700 kHz where 'smaller' AM/MW Loop Antennas are use.
- The FM Radio Band (87-108 MHz) because it is Very High Frequency
(VHF) has its own unique Antenna considerations.

My only thought is, feed it with balanced line and take the time to
investigate a balanced line tuner, for reception only you can make one
quite easily, you can significantly null noise sources (at times)
and I think for 120m it would enhance the performance.
