Yes the Kiwa MW Loop is astonishingly effective. Often beats a well placed
1000 foot beverage.
It is now discontinued, but I think it last sold new for $350.
Now regularly sells used for $700 plus on eBay

Also got a 250 watt MW station Radio Jacuipe, Bahia, Brazil, on my Kiwa
MW
Loop.
That was 3,800 miles from the DX QTH

I've read some great things about that Kiwa MW Loop, isn't that the
pretty
expensive antenna? Like $250-320?

Yeah, they have good reviews. It would be great if we could see the circuit
diagram so we could homebrew them, perhaps the schematic is no longer a
comany secret and they might let us have it?

It's in the manual that comes with the loop.

You're paying for mechanical construction as much as anything, which minizes
the received electrical field, which in turn deepens the nulls; and gives you
the ability to aim the thing with precision as well.

The particular regen circuit is very stable in addition, which must be
from selection of components.

As I said once, you do better up around this price range feeding
an ANC-4 with two antennas with some goodly separation; I use McKay Dymek
DA100E's. If they're big antennas, there's no need for them to be active,
I guess.

A loop (eg. Wellbrook ALA1530) and a whip can be co-located and combined
in an ANC-4 instead.

The ANC-4 trick gives you a V shaped null that you sweep from one endfire
to the other. In the case of the loop+whip, endfire is in the plane of the
loop. At endfire both legs of the V coincide; at broadside they open to a line.
