Concerning MW listening: A loop antenna with amplifier is often
the best bet.  Another good alternative is an active antenna
(uses a short whip) mounted in the clear, well away from power lines
et al., with the mast well grounded.  Then again, maybe you are lucky
and live where the power lines are clean and the neighbors don't
use light dimmers.  Then fifty feet of wire strung into a tree will
do great!
