JK, RC and CM,
I suspect that may be one reason that this Far-End Loaded AM/MW
Coil may work is the fact that the RF Systems EMF Antenna is
'only' Sixteen Feet (16') Long; and the Two Inch to Three Inch
(2"-3") Ferrite Rod at the End of the Wire Antenna Element does
have some 'measurable effect' on improving the AM/MW Frequency
Band performance of such a short Antenna.

Yes, I was assuming you had a short antenna and wanted to load
it. The reason for loading a short antenna is to increase its
electrical length closer to resonance and the benefits are much
more pronounced for transmitted signals. Most modern HF receivers
have enough gain to make up for a less than optimum antenna.

Loading a long wire antenna doesn't make much sense.
