[Premium-Rx] Looking for Loop Antenna

Hi Doug
I bought the Palomar loop system, with all six loops, at a radio  rally, 
(hamfest), in the Uk last year.
I wasn't familiar with it at the time, just curiosity really, but have  found 
it to be a great antenna for VLF/LF and for MW broadcasts.
The complete setup will go up to 15MHz but I haven't used it yet beyond  MW.
Palomar still have all the loops listed on their website, at around  $140 
each if I remember rightly, so that's probably your best option.
I have an earlier set but they tell me that the base unit hasn't  changed, 
just that the loops have slightly wider coverage now than they did  before.
There are other options, I've found quite a few web sites with design  
details for LF or MW loops, but these tend to be quite large.
If you've already got the Palomar base unit I don't think you'll be  
disappointed if you add extra loops to that. Mine certainly performs much better  than 
expected and I wouldn't part with it now.
