Are you using the Magnavox with a loop?

Nope, just the built in whip.  I've tried several antennas with the Magnavox D2935, including external loops, and so far nothing works better than the whip, or the internal loopstick for MW.  Sometimes attaching a ground wire helps but otherwise it works pretty well as-is.  In part it's the excellent audio - the Magnavox (and Philips variant) has outstanding audio, even better than the Palstar, for AM reception on MW and shortwave.  Helps in copying tough signals.
