Ray, do you have to null Radio Moldova with a loop to hear Coast FM?
Moldova seems to overpower anything else on this frequency on many of the SDRs I have tried in continental Europe.

I have some form of a K9AY loop, from years ago, but the low value pot in the coupler is in bad state (hard to find a good carbon pot with low value).
But that loop is just on the Algiers to Dublin axis, and Moldova is not far from the transverse axis.
Add to that the offset (just 0.05 low), helping.
BTW, the loop has a 33m perimeter, but slanted at 60° from vertical (on the roof!)

So the answer is "yes".  ;D
