You should do a test where you warm the rod+windings in your hand,
I found the center frequency would drift significantly with even
minor temperature changes.

It would of course not be unreasonable to temperature compensate a
ferrite rod antenna, but I have been wondering if it would be
possible to build a SDR receiver for 60kHz (or 77.5kHz) where the
CPU autotunes the high-Q antenna based on the detected signal, but
have not gotten the necessary round tuit.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
