Directivity is more important on the AM BCB band. Consider making
a tunable loop (one foot diameter or so..) that will allow you to peak
the direction for desired stations.

Would 16 ~ 18 gauge lamp cord (Zip cord) make a good "conductor" for an AM
band external long wire? Pull it "apart" and splice for maximum length? or
just use one "side"? or "short" it at the far end or at both ends? String
it
at about roof height? Beyond, say, 100 feet, how important is length?

Thanks in advance.
