Interesting!

Can anyone of the experts comment on this concept?

After scrolling down through pages of text i just found a few photos. The mechanical concept is clear.
But the author appears almost esoteric to me, like a guru of that antenna,  "The best compact AM antenna in the world - ever!"

So it is said that 20 ferrite rods in that arrangement perform 20 dB better than a single rod. OK, but how well performs such a signgle rod? 20 dB is maybe not enough, compared to a well designed single turn loop, which i have now.  My goal is always LF/137, not MF BCD stations or so. The advantage of the ferrite solution, if sensitivity is sufficient to be well above the noise on a quiet day, would be to be completely free in all /p sesions (without a car).

Would it be possible to reasonable simulate that antenna (not an accurate model but rather an estimation)?

Hello all,

If you have time to read it all, this might be interesting:
