Hi Ron,
I never used this antenna, but Palomar Engineers is still in business.
Here is a link to the loop antenna:

http://www.palomar-engineers.com/Loop_Antenna/loop_antenna.html

Maybe when your rich uncle dies you can buy one.    You can do a google 
search on  some of the model numbers and find out some more info on
these loops.

Happy listening,
Steve KW3A
