I'm not quite sure where everyone is moving from or to, but I hope some 
people are staying around here.

I built this loop some time ago:

Then I built this remotely-tuned preamp and mounted it on the loop:

The problem I'm running into is that I live about 5 miles from radio 
station WILL-AM on 580 kHz.  I'm having serious intermod and distortion 
problems due to this station.  I measure almost 2 volts p-p of WILL-AM at 
the coax connector in the shack. It's making this antenna system virtually 
useless.

Any idea what I can do to remedy this?  Forget about the preamp and just 
tune the loop remotely with the MVAM109 diodes?
