A nice horizontal search can be done with radio and loop on a lazy susan, if that works for you.

I did some homework and found a video advising using a Lazy Susan turntable to turn the radio and antenna simultaneously and ended up with the Terk 90 degrees to the end of the radio pointing the "unit" in the perfect direction for reception after of course adjusting the band setting on the Antenna

Tip: Use a turntable (Lazy Susan) for ease of use with your radio, as illustrated in the video

Therefore, a Lazy Susan is a great way to accomplish this task

I just got this tuned AM loop antenna along with a turntable, (Lazy Susan), for my AM/FM radios and this antenna is amazing

So I guess it works as

The Terk advantage took a barely understandable and really annoying signal on both the radios I mentioned and brought them in strong enough as to be almost static free

Didn't boost my am reception as we had hoped
