I am interested in receiving an AM station from a city 200 miles away on 
930Kc.  I can receive it on my car radio 35 at a distance of 165 miles 
but cannot get it on the home receiver at 200 miles.  Because of the low 
frequency, a directional antenna of the conventional sort, a Yagi for 
instance, of even a dipole, just isn't of reasonable size.

Is there some sort of directional antenna that I can use at this frequency?

The reason for directionality is not because I need gain so much as it 
is needed to reduce interfering stations on the same frequency to either 
side.  I can I am sure get enough wire up there to receive the signal, 
but when I do I will be receiving EVERY AM station on 930 as well as the 
one I want.
