This doesn't look good. He's not using the cores that are best for MW, and his
idea of using iron powder cores with 10 - 40 permeability would require
hundreds
I noticed that someone has Beverage antenna kits for sale on e-bay. These are
being sold as 160/80 meter amateur band Beverages but I suspect they would work
well for the AM BCB. The kit includes a 9:1 transformer with a BNC coax
connector and a 450 ohm terminating resistor. Both are contained

and most of MW. A popular ham core is Amidon type 43, and it certainly is not
optimum for LW

Beverage antenna. I have never lived in a place where I could
erect one. I just noticed this kit on e-bay
