******************************************************* 
An excellent radio listening experience last night, combining vintage equipment with a modern reception technology. 
The receiver: Sony ICF2001D from the 80s, working perfectly. Antennas: Square loop DZ45 (Denis Zoqbi's home-made construction, enhanced by Rene Passold), 45 cm diameter, 22 wire loops and variable capacitor + C.Crane Twin Coile Antenna. 
(Inductive) connections: the DZ45 loop on a rotating stand (for ease of tuning), the C.Crane antenna next to the DZ45 antenna loop, connected to the C.Crane control module. 
From the C.Crane control module, the connection to the small C.Crane ferrite component that was placed over where the Sony ICF2001D receiver ferrite is located.
Results: No electrical noise at receptions! Good signal amplification. A more pronounced selectivity and gain. I was very happy with what I listened. Especially, the quality of the results.
