Antenna for Philco Radio
#4

Hi and Welcome to the Phourm!!!
First off Sorry for loses.
As for the antenna as Tom mentioned inside is ok but outside is much better! The higher and longer the better! The best situation is an antenna that is resonant to the frequency you are listening to. Unfortunately for the AM broadcast band this would be over 1000' long. So if you can get 100' or longer of wire up 30-50' high you should be doing great. If you've got some tall trees you can use a slingshot to propel some heavy weight thread you can tie that to some rope which can be used to support your antenna wire.
Let me know what you've got to work with and we'll figure out a good antenna for you. All three of those sets should work well with an outdoor antenna.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
