[Antennas] AM on 930KC

Sure, long wires terminated at the end... look up references on Beverage
antennas.  Arrays of verticals.  Small loops.  The Ewe antenna.  Check
out the ON4UN Low Band DXing book for more suggestions, any antenna that
he talks about for 160m could be basically doubled in size for that
frequency.
