Obviously, the receiver has no antenna input jack. Thus throw all the loop
antenna suggestions out the window, unless you want to try and teach him
how to make a ferrite bar coupling loop.

People should take time to read thoroughly before they post solutions that
won't work.

The long wire inductively coupled is the best solution for his problem,

not
a loop or a new radio.


The Select-a-Tenna (at least the model I have) works wonderfully on radios
with no external antenna connections. Indeed, there is no way to connect it
to the radio directly, you just set it by the radio and tune it.



Yep - I have one too, and it's a completely passive device (though
they do make a powered version of it, but I've read it's a waste of
money). Select-a-tenna is placed in-line with a loop antenna, and at a
90 degree angle to a ferrite bar antenna. It helps a lot at night, but
it helps *dramatically* during daylight hours. I really like mine.
