Sure, sounds like a thought, but why limit it to Shortwave DXing?
I'm more partial to, for example, Mediumwave, Longwave, and VHF
DX.  Count me in.

On the topic of mediumwave/longwave DX, I have a trio of questions:
(1) does anybody out there have any experience with amplified loop
antennas (for example, the McKay-Dymek/Stoner and Palomar Engineering
products)?  How do they compare with, for example, a large air-wound
loop?

(2) Does anybody out there have any good suggestions for building
loops for MW/LW DX?

(3) I own a Sony ICF-2010.  Wonderful receiver, with the possible
exception of its not allowing users to hook up external antennas
for frequencies below 1.6 MHz.  Has anybody out there successfully
hacked their 2010s to get around this limitation?  

Thanks in advance,
--Nick
