Just a couple comments.
1) What's the real difference between a "Tuned Loop" and a xtal set? The diode and earphones.
2) For a beautiful loop, take a 6 foot piece (I think it's 6 foot) of 16-conductor computer ribbon cable and connect the ends together offset by one.
1 - 2 -1 3 -2 4 - 3 . . . 16-15 - 16
Add the cap or whatever you want.
Now you have a nice one-piece portable loop that you can carry in your coat pocket or hang around a nice frame.
Not my idea. I'm just passing it on.
As for the soldering.....I'm searching the stores for two snap-on connectors. One male and one female. I'm going to put them on the ends of my cable and just plug them together offset by one. I HATE soldering!!!
