I have continued to tweak the alignment of the 37-61, and it is now dead on on both bands, and is surprisingly sensitive and selective. Even with only about 6 feet of wire attached to the antenna terminal, no ground, on the workbench in my cellar I am able to pick up WWV on both 10 MC and 15 MC, faint but clear, which speaks well for the set since WWV is kind of hard to pick up here because of a big hill just to my west. The AM band is excellent too. On the same antenna I am able to pick up both WOR 710 in New York, and 740 Zoomer radio out of Toronto, Canada, both of which I kind of use as a benchmark. I am now satisfied that the radio is performing about as well as it can. Now I just have to wait until the weather warms up and I can continue work on the cabinet, the adventure of which I am chronicling in the cabinet section.
