You are talking about a large loop similar to what I use here and it 
performs vy well. Your power line could well be giving you some enhancement.
Your reception on 500 khz seems well above all  the others around and down 
the East coast. You can always copy my signals when the others are 
struggling or cannot hear or see my signal at all.
