I read you already have a different method in mind, but I used to do DFing
as part of my job. The loop antenna was several turns of insulated wire inside a copper tube with a tuning cap at the base. The simplest method is to take a piece of 1/2 inch copper tubing long enough to make a loop about 16 inches in diameter. You can play with the number of turns inside, but two is probably a good place to start.

I'm in need of small "one-hand" carried portable antenna that can be used in the 3-4 MHz range to hunt down a persistent noise at my QTH. I'd prefer to use it with my Davco DR-30 rather than buy a small portable SW radio. Any design ideas?
