Yo... Clifster:

I'm sucking up to you today so I can abuse your call in the January
newsletter... You know, it's that Yin-Yang, Karma, Tao thing you've heard so
much about.

Anyway, here are a few links for your surfing pleasure:
(remember that AM BCB RX techniques are very applicable to 160)

Be sure to cruise the associated links on this one, too... Ton o'stuff here!

This guy is a low-fer, but the pics are cool... Same concept on 160, just
fewer turns on the loop. As long as you can hear a pronounced noise peak
where you need it when adjusting the trimmer cap, you're good.

Coaxial loops are less sensitive than open wire loops, but they are very
quiet and can outperform a larger antenna when the S/N ratio is working
against you.

This ought to keep you out of trouble for a while...
