I used to live within 70 miles of KCBS and KGO both running 50KW. Using my
loop I could knock them both down 50db without too much of a problem. Lesser
stations I could null out completely. I suggest making it bigger. Use about
120 feet of wire but make the outside circumference of the loop larger.
