[600MRG] Question for the collective wisdom...

[Mike-WE0H]

Brian's Simple RX Loop does an amazing job at not hearing powerline 
noise. I can sit on my driveway at night with it and my Sangean ATS-909 
and listen to Pat pounding out CW. It hears just as well as my vertical 
that I use for my station. Links to build info:

preamp board:

A LM-741 OP Amp works just fine in this design. Many other's with the 
same pinout work also.
