AOR 320 with Sw MW, and 1.6 to MHz loops. Works as well as the Slinky@ I
have mounted on the outside walls.

"The Slinky is fun, but calculations of its performance relative
to a straight wire are discouraging.
.
Below resonance it's just a hunk of wire, only slightly better
than a straight wire of similar length.
.
It's a relatively efficient antenna at resonance (which for a
"standard" slinky is around 7 MHz), but above resonance
it is less efficient than a straight wire of the same length.
.
For HF reception, efficiency generally matters most at the
higher frequencies where the Slinky's efficiency is in decline."
