  I was thinking last night as i was listening to coast to coast on my 
AM radio.

The question is,  While i know for sure we could not use it for 
transmitting,  But the ferrite bar antenna that is inside this radio,  
How efficient are these anyway?  I know they are highly directional, 
with very deep nulls.  But has anyone ever made one for use on 160 meters?

And if so what did it perform like?

The directionality would be nice. how about noise, or overall gain  etc?
