I recently completed my first electrical restoration of a Philco 46-200 with help from folks on the Philco Phorum. Working well.
When I position the radio in the kitchen surrounded by large windows on all sides, it receives every local AM station it should. But when I move it to my office (same house), I can only pick up the two strongest stations, and not well.
There is a connection for an external antenna -- but most of what I read about is hundreds of feet long wire antennas. Do I have any more reasonable options to pull in stations better? This is a brick house.
Thanks!
