Eric, I don't think I'd hear anything either with 50' of wire.  You really need 
to go with something that's made for MW dx......doesn't need a lot of room.  My 
current favourite is the ALA 100 from Wellbrook.  Check out some of the 
loggings from Colin N. who lives way up high in an apartment.  He has a couple 
of ALAs.  Another option is to construct a box loop....those have been around 
for close to a 100 years, and still work wonders.  All sorts of commercial 
loops, etc also 
available.  50' of wire is fine for SW, but woefully inadequate for distant MW 
dx........Walt
