Hello All
I was wondering if there is a way to improve on the loop antenna? I get a number of stations, and have used the Short Wave trimmer to get the best volume. I noticed that if I put my finger on the antenna screw the volume gets louder.
I was allowed to bring the radio up from the basement !!!!! Icon_razz . So the AM works great, all I had to do was rotate the drum antenna. So short of cutting off my finger Icon_razz , is there a way to make an addition to the SW antenna that can be hidden in back of the radio?
Thanks Bob
