Adding loop antenna to pre-war radio

[Tamošius]

Ok, I will look into any gain issues. There is for sure some distortion on the output. Will swap some tubes and do some checking. Thanks!

Tom echoed exactly what I was fixin to say about hearing those stations on a few feet of wire. And it should hear the normal AM hash between stations. With the deluxe feature of an RF stage, that radio should be extra hot for DXing. Looking forward to seeing it come alive.

After all testings and with a better performance, you can experiment with different antennas if you decide for it, based on noise etc (ferrite antennas are less prone to some noise).
Not forget to remove the corresponding coil to add the antenna (the antenna will replace it). Carefully, for saving it if you can want to revert to original.

Oops, I mean only cut the connections (and maintain it in place).
