Sorry everyone who responded - I got involved in some other things and forgot to report on my wiring changes.

It looks really god now as far as my Hippo antenna connections.

I get squeezed somewhat at the low end of the dial mainly because of 2-3 local Cincinnati stations and of course WLW sucking the oxygen out of a lot near the 700 AM area.

Once I get past AM 780 or so I'm picking up Des Moines, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Raleigh-Durham, etc.

I'd say the Hippo is performing just fine now as far as reception. Also no hum; just a little static between some of the stations.

One last question before moving on:

Radioroslyn mentioned the smaller of the shared loop winding coils in his original reply.

Radioroslyn - could that smaller winding be compared to the L2 "tickler" coil I remember when I built a 2-tube regen radio a few years ago?
