I hooked up the radio to a non GFCI outlet with the ground connected to the chassis and it did not pop any circuit breaker. I also tried hanging a 20 foot wire out the window for the antenna but I still get a lot of whooshing on most of the broadcast stations. I also have a small modern AM radio which I noticed has the same whooshing on most of the stations but when I took it outside in the balcony of where I live the whooshing went away. As soon as I have a chance I will take the Philco 16B out on the balcony and see if that fixes the issue with the whooshing sound. Is there any other way that I can keep the radio inside and eliminate the whooshing sound ?

Thanks,
Carlos
