Last thing  the terminating metal-film R 470ohm replaced.  it was hi-R, no visible damage.    Everything looks good directivity is normal. Noise level increase normal when connected. Receiving MW 747kHz local BC  +80dB  and directivity here is clearly present.     But it will not receive 475kHz strange enough. The Flex1500 panorama shows only garbage signals.   I had good results receiving 502kHz in the past with this loop.   The vertical antenna is receiving much better at 475kHz     Last night it was a bit better night for 475kHz USA decodes become weaker and weaker. Hope for a dec...
