Excellent introduction to NDB DXing resources, Steve.  Thanks for putting 
it together.  All I would add is that untuned outdoor loop antennas are 
surprising good for LW use given their size, and are often less responsive 
to local electrical noise than active whips.   A "floppy loop" with 
matching transformer as described by Glen Kippel in IRCA reprints and/or 
Technical Guide is pretty good for this purpose, and it can be mounted 
close to the ground, next to a wooden building etc.  Larger loop, more 
signal.  If amplification is desired, Wellbrook's ALA100 unit puts out a 
solid signal with quite a small loop.

best wishes,

Nick
