Take a look at the Kiwa Pocket Loop
Antenna covers both AM/MW and
most of the Shortwave Bands. The
tuning range is from 530 kHz to 23
MHz in Four Bands using a battery
powered Low Noise Amplifier.
Requires one 9 Volt Alkaline Battery
for power. The Kiwa Pocket Loop
Antenna is very small and 'portable'.

Cost: A little pricy at $200. (snip)


That antenna is indeed interesting. Thanks for pointing it out. However,
you're right to say the $200 is a little pricy. At that price, that antenna
had better pull in stations that aren't even transmitting at the moment.
;-)

But, since they have a 30-day trial guarantee, I may consider it. But I
have to weigh whether I need that level of performance in a hotel room.
Something simplier, and cheaper, would obviously be a more sensible way to
go.
