Steve,

Unaided, the  Pogo's DX may surprise you.  While no R8, I have a Walkman
that occasionally surprises me, even unaided, when I walk Radio dog during
grey line in the a.m.  A well-known trick among loop antenna owners is
proximity coupling the loop stick antenna of a radio via magnetic effect
with an MW tunable loop antenna.   A simple boosting device is a 4" solid
wire solenoid rigged to a random length wire and variable air capacitor.
The antenna coil of my xtl radio, made of 30x of 660/46 Litz on a 4" styrene
plumbing coupler, rigged a la' Tuggle front end (double ganged air variable,
one gang tunes ground, the other gang tunes the coil and antenna) radiates
enough tuned  RF to boost performance of my Sony 2010 and DX 398 from more
than several feet away.

73, Gil NN4CW
