Use a long-wire type antenna on the ANT screw on the rear and also use a good ground on the GND screw next to it to improve SW reception. The loop is only used fully for the AM band and tapped down for the second bandswitch position (1500kHz to 300kHz). Position three is the 6mHz to 18mHz Short wave band and is switched directly to that ANT terminal. See the antenna switching wiring in the schematic.
