I know a lot of radio theory, but I have never actually built one, so I'm not sure what the best way to go would be. I would say you should get a very high gain OP-AMP that works at the frequency that you intend to be using (I take it this on one frequency only), or chain several high-gain op-amps together. That would be the way to get the highest possible, I would think.

A loop antenna is only good if you don't know whether their antenna will be horizontal or vertical. If theirs is horizontal, you should use a long horizontal antenna, if theirs is vertical, use a long vertical antenna.
