Loop antenna dilamma
 

I recently had a large all metal garage/shop installed, after setting
up my radio equipment i
started on antennas. I have a AM reciever that has a external loop so
i drilled a hole thru the
wall & run the leads out, installed the loop on a pole and started
scanning AM band. It didnt
pickup like it should so i took it down, as it fell to the ground the
station got real loud. I tried
picking the loop off the ground and the reception went away. Tried
several times to put the
loop in the air but had to return it to laying ontop of the ground?
