Default Want To Build a Directional, Amplified Medium Wave Receiving Antenna - Where To Start?

Thanks All! Tomorrow I try my luck at making a loop. I found a good website about it at http://www.mindspring.com/~loop_antenna/ . The guy says it has a good null, so I'm hoping that can be used to block the offending station that's interfering. Looks like I have to take one of my variable caps off my crystal radio though. The things I'm willing to do for my wife! (Ha! like I'm not really going to enjoy this).

If that doesn't work I'm workin' her to be able to get this $200 antenna. http://dxtools.com/QX.htm

Again,
Thanks All!
Dan

Make sure to get a money back guarntee if it does not work for your
application. If you are to the east or west of the station you may be
fighting a loosing battle. The station may be shifting the antenna patern
north and south at night.
