The way the radio chassis was mounted in that cabinet, the antenna loop would have been horizontal, not vertical. Which would make the radio insensitive. You could make a piece of bent metal or a piece of wood to remount that antenna so it is vertical when the chassis is in the cabinet. Be sure that there's at least a half inch spacing between the metal bracket and the wire windings. It won't matter if the loop is orientated with the longer dimension is vertical or horizontal, or diagonal.
