GE list.  I thought this might be something worth mentioning.  Radio Shack
is closing out their AM loop antenna for $20.  I bought one and hooked it to
my Sony 2010.  Really nice sharp nulls.  I'll try it on my 390 to night.  My
home made 12 turn/3ft. diagonal loop does not have as sharp nulls.  I
probably need to try changing the coupling cap. on the pick-up loop.  Anyway
for $20 it weighs 1lb. and 12in. diameter its worth the time if u listen for
am dx.  Monitoring Times has a review of the loop and it was good.  Radio
Shack part number is #15-1853.  Its a passive loop no amp.
