Hey guys and gals, I was wondering about the benefits of a loop antenna. I have a Philco 37-116 running off a long wire antenna and while it picks up many stations, it seems to also pick up a lot of noise and static compared to my 41-250 with a built in loop antenna! Just about every station on th41-250 is quieter than the same station on the 37-116 except for strong local ones. The long wire antenna is outside  away from power lines and machinery. Would like to build  a loop antenna  for the 37-116.
