BTW, thanks to Brian for all the info. It would have been much more difficult without it. Also, I forgot to mention that my loop is the 25 inch square model.
And oh yes, credit where credit is due. That Silvertone 4586 is Andrea's.

Correct! Being that this is the Philco Phorum, I had to put something Philco in my post.

After building my first loop antenna, I discovered two problems. One, I don't have a good place to put it. Two, loop antennas are incompatible with cats (we have two). Searching the Internet I ran across an article about a Hula-Hoop-Loop, so I built one.

The Hula-Hoop is about 33 inches in diameter. I pulled the hoop apart at the joint looped a four conductor telephone cord through two times. I connected one end of one conductor to the other end of the next conductor and so on to create eight loops. I added single wire loop for the sense loop. As it turns out it wouldn't tune the high end of the band. I removed two turns. Now I'm loosing a little of the low end. As I have time, I will play with this some more.
