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.
