Magnet wire is made of copper. But if you make a loop (coil) and run a
voltage through it it becomes a electro magnet. Lower gauge wire will give
you more turns per inch. So you can pick up lower frequencys.

Wouldn't that be higher guage wire giving more turns per inch? Higher the
gauge, smaller the wire size.
