I realize Mark (or anyone else) never asked, but I've done extensive
experiments with the W6LVP loop and preamp. It is poor for MW and only
starts to do well at HF. Due to its high input impedance it does not
match the single-turn loop until up at HF. If your interest is primarily
MW I do not recommend the W6LVP setup.
(I've done the same for the newer MFJ 1886 loop and preamp and that one
is even worse--it doesn't even have decent gain at MW.)

I don't see any recent discussions about antenna rotors in my searches.
What would be a good rotor for use with the W6LVP?
I've never used a rotor, so I don't really know what to look for in
regards to the best features for AM DXing.
