You could build yourself one of these. Four dowels and a door trim block from Lowes, 100' of thin insulated wire, and a matching air capacitor. Any old thing for a base will do. I have rudimentary instructions I can email if you're interested. Google "AM loop antenna" for lots of options. The one on Ebay is junk, don't waste your money.
